3030 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3030 Polk Street in Russian Hill, owned by Chi Pui & Man Har Ho Ling R, was constructed in 1926 and contains 12 units. The property has experienced recurring fire safety system issues over the years, with recent violations including a September 2024 citation for alarm system maintenance that has since been abated, and similar violations in 2017 and 2008 which were corrected. The building underwent reroofing in 2010 at a cost of $11,500, and previous sidewalk and street space permits were issued in 2009 and 2008 respectively.

A notable recent complaint from July 2024 regarding peeling paint on the exterior front elevations was filed with Housing Inspection Services. The building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding fire safety equipment. While recent fire violations show some responsiveness to corrections, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has also experienced several parking-related incidents, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2021 and 2023, though most cases were resolved through citations. Graffiti incidents were reported in 2020-2021, with one case involving an offensive remark on the Galileo School building. A December 2024 report of garbage and debris was addressed and resolved promptly. While some of these issues are relatively minor and have been addressed, the pattern of fire safety system violations and maintenance concerns warrants attention to the building's overall upkeep and safety compliance.
