1525 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit multi-family residential building at 1525 Larkin Street in Nob Hill, owned by Steven T Ching Tr, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1973. Most recently, in 2023, the building had major boiler system work completed, including the removal of an old boiler, installation of a new boiler, and hot water tank system updates. The building has also seen important safety improvements, with a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2020-2021 that included new control units, smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders throughout the property to meet current safety standards.

Other notable improvements include window replacements (2013), rear wall stucco repairs (2013), and a complete reroofing project (2005), demonstrating regular maintenance and updates to building systems. The property has experienced some compliance challenges, most notably in 2023 when multiple violations were recorded regarding boiler permit requirements, though these violations were ultimately abated by May 2023. There appears to be an ongoing boiler permit compliance issue as of July 2024, which is currently listed as active.

The building's maintenance record shows regular responses to infrastructure needs, such as bathroom updates and laundry facility improvements. External to the building itself, there have been several reported incidents requiring municipal response, including graffiti removal (2023), sidewalk cleaning (2024), and occasional sewage system issues (2023), though many of these cases have been resolved promptly and do not seem to indicate persistent problems. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2008, both of which were resolved.
