Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2025-2029 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, currently owned by the Lily Lee Survivor Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including a complete reroofing project in 2017 costing $15,000, and important structural improvements in the 1990s such as foundation reinforcement with threaded rods and epoxy in 1996. Historical records indicate previous repairs addressed dry rot issues and stairway modifications in 1999, though these permits expired.

Recent activity around the property has been more concerning, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of street cleaning needs, including general garbage and waste removal. There are currently unresolved issues from 2023-2024 related to graffiti on the building and tree maintenance concerns, including overgrown trees and sidewalk damage from roots. The area has experienced recurring maintenance needs as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2024, though these are primarily external to the building itself. Historical building inspection records show routine inspections in the late 1990s and early 2000s, all of which were resolved without any noted ongoing concerns.

Risk rating

How 2025-2029 Larkin St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
48th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 589 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 40.0%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 44.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
