1519-1521 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1519-1521 Larkin Street property is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, consisting of two units and owned by Sharon Akemi Doi-Swan. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent notable work being a furnace replacement with new PVC exhaust piping completed in July 2023.

Between 2014-2018, substantial renovations included two kitchen remodels (one valued at $30,000 in 2018, and another $40,000 project in 2014 that also included bathroom updates), as well as a 200-amp electrical service upgrade completed in 2014 which included the installation of three meters and is believed to still be active despite earlier expired permits for similar work from 2004-2006. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents in recent years, with 311 calls showing a pattern of driveway blocking incidents, particularly in 2023, and instances of sidewalk cleaning issues in 2022-2023.

A significant period of unaddressed graffiti was recorded in March 2023, coinciding with pandemic-related enforcement suspensions, though this appears to be a broader city issue rather than specific to the building. The most serious recorded incident was a police-related situation in 552, though this occurred without civilian injuries and no specific date was provided. The building's permit and inspection history generally suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention paid to modernizing electrical and mechanical components over the past decade.
