2750 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

Located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, 2750 Polk Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Fosse Lvg Tr. The building has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 that included installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and compatibility updates to meet current fire codes. Other recent major improvements include a backflow replacement in 2021 and a boiler replacement in 2017, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of essential systems.

The building's history includes several concerning maintenance issues, particularly during the 2006-2009 period, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat, water leaks, electrical problems, and window issues. A troubling incident in 2006 involved exposed electrical wires and a reported fire hazard. The building has also experienced recurring issues with water penetration and window problems, as evidenced by complaints in 2020 and 2006.

While many past violations were abated by 2007, and recent years show fewer maintenance complaints, there have been ongoing concerns about parking issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement requests in 2024. The building's fire safety systems have required attention over the years, with multiple fire alarm complaints in 2008 that were resolved, though recent improvements suggest better current compliance. The most recent service calls primarily relate to external issues rather than building systems, including streetscape maintenance matters.
