2560 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2560 Polk Street, owned by the Megan K Simpson Living Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements since its construction in 1922. Most notably, a comprehensive fire system upgrade was completed in September 2023, featuring new control panels, smoke and pull stations, horn/strobe combinations, and improved coverage throughout all units, demonstrating a commitment to resident safety.

The building underwent mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 (Classified as Tier 3) with final completion and certification, and in 2014, repair work was performed on dry rot in the rear stairs. The property has retained regular maintenance attention, including a kitchen remodel in Unit #1 in 2018 which included new cabinets and counters, though the existing appliances, flooring, and windows remained in place. Historical records show periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services from 1999 to 2011, all of which were resolved.

In 2008, two fire safety-related complaints regarding alarm systems and extinguishers were filed and subsequently corrected. The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, with recent plumbing and electrical upgrades supporting the 2018 kitchen remodeling work. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the building's location between 2020 and 2024, most concerned street parking issues or exterior maintenance matters rather than interior building concerns.
