1845 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1845 Larkin St in Nob Hill, owned by the Fay Wah Lee Trust, is a 3-story structure built in 1910. The property has undergone several maintenance and safety updates over the years, with the most recent significant work being a complete reroofing project in February 2023 costing $11,000. A major electrical upgrade was completed in July 2003, which included installing a 400-amp service with multiple circuits and wall heaters throughout the building.

The building underwent two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2003, which revealed several safety issues including fire safety violations related to egress obstruction and fire extinguisher maintenance, as well as a building maintenance issue with the basement storage room ceiling; however, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated within a few months. In recent years, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and maintenance issues near the property, with the most recent being garbage and debris complaints in late 2024. These exterior cleaning issues seem to be primarily related to street maintenance rather than building-specific problems, as they have been consistently resolved by the Public Works department.

Other notable exterior incidents include a 2021 graffiti case that was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew and a 2020 medical waste incident involving needles that was promptly resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety compliance issues in the past, these were addressed in a timely manner, and the recent reroofing project demonstrates ongoing upkeep of the property. The electrical system upgrade from 2003 indicates a significant modernization of the building's infrastructure, though no recent electrical work has been documented in the past two decades.
