2760 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2760 Polk Street in Russian Hill, built in 1923, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2019 (Classified as Tier 3, with Certificate of Final Completion issued), improving its seismic safety. In 2022-2023, the building's fire safety systems were substantially upgraded, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in living and bedroom areas to meet current fire code requirements.

The property has maintained regular upkeep, addressing various repair needs, including a 2023 garage door repair following vehicle damage (estimated cost $10,000) and historical maintenance like 2001 siding replacement and 1991 reroofing. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, with plumbing work including backflow device replacement in 2013 and sewer repairs in 2009, though these permits have since expired. A significant compliance issue occurred in 2001 regarding an unpermitted steam boiler operation, which was resolved by 2008 through enforcement actions.

Recent neighborhood activity has included several 311 calls primarily related to street conditions and parking issues, with some resulting in resolved cases. The most recent service calls and inspections have not indicated any ongoing safety concerns, though there is an open noise complaint from September 2024 that has not yet been resolved. The property appears to be under active management, as evidenced by recent repair work and completion of mandatory safety upgrades, though some permits from earlier periods show as expired rather than completed.
