Augrented Insights Report

The 13-unit multi-family residential building at 2539 Polk Street in Russian Hill, owned by Dpm LLC, is a 3-story structure built in 1909 with a history of various maintenance and safety issues. Recent significant concerns include a 2022 incident involving high airborne mold levels in Unit 3 following flooding from a pipe rupture, and multiple complaints in 2021-2022 regarding water intrusion and plumbing issues affecting multiple units.

The building has undergone several updates, including a $14,000 reroofing project completed in 2016, kitchen renovations in multiple units (2005 and 2008), and electrical improvements such as GFI installation in 2005. A notable pattern of fire safety violations is documented, with multiple alarm system issues between 2017 and 2020, including a blocked exit violation in 2007.

Recent building-wide inspections in 2022 revealed multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with windows, walls, ceilings, and flooring. The building's maintenance history shows both regular upkeep and recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly concerning water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints about plumbing issues between 2016 and 2022. While many violations have been addressed and abated, the frequency of maintenance issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding water systems and fire safety systems.
