2936 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2936 Polk Street in Russian Hill, owned by Dolores I Parhomenko Tr 201, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1926. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $75,000) to improve seismic safety, and installed a modern fire alarm system in 2022-2023 to comply with safety codes.

The property has received substantial maintenance attention, including a complete reroofing (2019, $28,000), window replacements (2015, $12,000), and various electrical system upgrades. A concerning pattern of sewer-related issues was apparent in 2014-2017, with multiple reports of sewage backup problems, though these appear to have been resolved.

The building experienced several security-related violations in 2003-2004, related to door security and gas utility shutoff requirements, but these were all abated in a timely manner. More recent improvements include the installation of a Distributed Antenna System for enhanced cellular service (2021) and various fire safety upgrades, with the most recent fire alarm modification completed in June 2023. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations, as evidenced by the resolution of a fire alarm systems complaint in May 2023.
