Augrented Insights Report

2301 Polk Street is a three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 in the Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by 2301 Polk Street LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent being an active exterior maintenance concern filed in July 2024 regarding blistering/peeling paint on the building's front and south-facing exterior.

Notable past violations include a broken sewer lateral in 2010 that was promptly addressed (May 2010), a 2012 violation for unpermitted kitchen renovations in multiple units (1, 3, 4, 6, and 7), and various fire safety compliance issues, including a 2019 violation regarding fire extinguisher servicing that was subsequently abated. The building has undergone several permitted improvements over the years, including electrical service upgrades (2006, 2013), kitchen remodels in multiple units (2010), and the installation of natural gas fireplaces (2015, 2018).

However, there have been multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits, notably affecting units 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7, which led to several enforcement actions. Recent maintenance records show ongoing concerns with the building's exterior upkeep and sidewalk conditions, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris issues near the property, though these are primarily street-related rather than building-specific concerns. A compliance issue regarding short-term rental activity was resolved in 2018 with one certificate revocation and another host instruction to cease hosting.
