2514-2520 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2514-2520 Polk Street in Russian Hill, owned by 3139 Gough Llc, was constructed in 1907 and contains 5 units. The property underwent significant seismic safety improvements in 2019, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit at a cost of $57,000, along with several associated street space permits.

Earlier in 2018-2018, substantial interior improvements were made including kitchen and bathroom remodels, with proper permits obtained for plumbing and electrical work totaling $30,000. The building has a documented history of lead paint concerns, with multiple violations issued in 2011 regarding both interior and exterior surfaces, though these were resolved by May 2013. There have been two notable building complaints regarding unpermitted work and safety concerns: one in 2017 involving unauthorized construction work, temporary heat shutdown affecting unit 2520, and emergency access issues, and another in 2020 regarding construction work beyond permitted hours.

These complaints were marked as not active. The building's soft-story retrofit program has been successfully completed and received a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 4 participant. Recently, there has been increased activity regarding street maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and parking violations occurring from May to December 2024, primarily related to driveway blocking and street cleaning needs, though these issues are external to the building itself.
