Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2019-2023 Larkin Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Henry Wong Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, most notably in June 2001 when multiple violations were recorded including egress obstructions, stair repairs, and gas meter diagram requirements, though these were all abated by September 27, 2001. The building underwent stair post repairs in 2001 and has had various street space permits issued between 2005 and 2020. More recent activity includes a plumbing spot repair in 2015 and an electrical sub-panel survey inspection issued in July 2024.

Recent infrastructure concerns have primarily involved the sidewalk, with reports in both February 2022 and December 2023 indicating collapsed sidewalk conditions, though the latter was found not to be at this address. The property has been subject to routine housing inspections, most recently in 2011, and has had various maintenance and public safety issues documented through 311 calls, including abandoned vehicles, stormwater catch basin maintenance, and hazardous materials clean-up in 2019-2023. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, most historical violations and complaints have been addressed and resolved, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 2019-2023 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
