1545-1549 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Wong Family Trust owns this three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located at 1545-1549 Larkin Street in Nob Hill. Built in 1909, the property has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $40,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent major renovations include a comprehensive $42,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2021 for Unit A, which involved electrical upgrades and insulation improvements, as well as the complete replacement of six Federal Pacific panels in December 2024 with new circuit breakers and an upgraded grounding system. The building has a history of proper maintenance and upgrades, including a significant renovation in 2010-2011 that addressed multiple units' kitchens, bathrooms, and window replacements, though this work initially sparked a complaint about unpermitted construction that was subsequently resolved. The property's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior improvements, including updates to lighting systems and efficiency upgrades.

Historical violations from 2001 related to sanitation, handrails, and lead paint hazards were all resolved within a month. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues along Larkin Street, with several citations issued for driveway blocking between 2019 and 2023, though these are external matters not directly related to building conditions. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and compliance with city requirements, with no active building violations or persistent maintenance issues on record, and the property has achieved full compliance with all mandatory retrofit requirements.
