2249-2253 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

This two-story mixed-use building at 2249-2253 Polk Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, constructed in 1907, features two residential units and ground-floor retail space. The property, currently owned by Richard and Karin Burger, has undergone several significant modifications over its history, including a substantial roof replacement completed in 2009 costing $7,880, and various retail space modifications in the early 1990s including shelving removal and wine storage conversions, though these permits have since expired.

The building underwent a notable expansion in 1984 with the addition of 343 square feet to the ground-floor retail space. The property has experienced numerous municipal service calls in the past year, with a particularly high frequency of street cleaning and debris-related issues in early 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with external maintenance of public areas. These calls were primarily handled by the Department of Public Works and Urban Forestry, and all were resolved without any indicated persistent issues.

A notable incident occurred in October 2023 when the Rent Board corrected the unit count and adjusted the associated fees, indicating some prior administrative discrepancy that has since been resolved. The most recent service calls in 2024 have primarily concerned public space maintenance rather than building-specific issues, with no reported incidents affecting resident safety or building systems. The property maintains a traditional flat and store configuration typical of its era, with the most recent significant building work being the 2009 roof replacement.
