2442-2446 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2442-2446 Polk Street in Russian Hill, owned by David Andrighetto Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1908. The most recent major improvement, completed in May 2023, involved remodeling bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry facilities in unit 2442, along with the removal of two permanently sealed non-functional fireplaces, totaling $37,000. This followed a series of substantial updates in 2017 when unit 2446 underwent kitchen and dining room modifications, including electrical and plumbing improvements.

In 2012, the building addressed dry rot issues on exterior stairs, posts, and handrails as mandated by housing inspection, while earlier maintenance history from 2005 shows a cluster of violations that were resolved, including window repairs, stair repairs, and various bathroom issues. The property has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, including multiple complaints about drainage, plumbing, and moisture concerns between 2004-2015, suggesting some historical challenges with water management systems. More recent building history shows active maintenance, with proper resolutions to violations and complaints.

The building underwent significant renovation work throughout the 2010s, including fireplace removals and various unit improvements, indicating ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property. While there have been some complaints about yard waste and sidewalk issues in 2023-2024, these appear to be more related to general neighborhood conditions rather than specific building problems. The property’s development history includes several proposals for expansion, including plans for a four-unit condominium conversion and additional units in the rear yard, though these projects were ultimately withdrawn or closed without development. Recent planning records show no active development proposals, suggesting the building remains in its current configuration.
