1813-1821 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The property at 1813-1821 Polk Street is a two-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Celbco Llc. The building has undergone numerous improvements and renovations over the past decade, with significant work performed between 2013-2020. Major upgrades include the installation of fire safety systems with six sprinklers added to the basement in 2015, a complete re-roofing in 2020, and multiple unit renovations comprising kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 1, 2, 4, and 8, with particular attention to electrical systems including new sub-panels and safety features such as smoke detectors.

The building's infrastructure has been modernized with a 400-amp three-phase electrical service upgrade completed in 2013, and the addition of laundry facilities including two washers and dryers in 2014. Recent concerns include a December 2023 fire violation related to sleeping area requirements that has been marked as open, though previous fire safety issues from 2008 were resolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with exterior garbage and debris management in late 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned items and overflowing containers, though most have been resolved by city services.

A vacant storefront complaint was filed in 2020, but is no longer active. Two notable fire-related incidents have occurred on record, though no civilian injuries were reported in any of the events. Outdoor seating improvements were also made in 2013 with the installation of two benches at the restaurant's front.
