1618-1622 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1618-1622 Polk Street property is a 20-unit, 3-story apartment building constructed in 1909 in Nob Hill, currently owned by Irrevoc Tr Agreement 3/26/1. The building has undergone significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a major electrical service upgrade in 2019 that involved installing a new 400-amp service with multiple meters, and substantial plumbing work in 2024 involving waste/vent systems and fixture installations. The building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit program as a Tier 4 building, with work completed and Certified Final Completion issued.

Recent maintenance activities include sidewalk replacements in 2023 to comply with city ordinances, though there were multiple plumbing and infrastructure issues previously documented, including a broken house trap in 2020 and various routine maintenance matters. The building has had three fire alarm system violations between 2007-2017, all of which were corrected promptly. Historical complaints from the 1990s and 2000s included issues with plumbing, bathroom cleanliness, and noise, but these appear to have been resolved.

The property has faced some recent challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk conditions and nearby encampments, though most of these issues were promptly resolved or closed. Recent sidewalk work in 2023 involved significant investment ($20,000 total across two permits) to address infrastructure requirements. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance and compliance requirements, as shown by the completion of major systems upgrades and prompt attention to violations when issued. Regular inspections and monitoring have occurred, suggesting ongoing oversight of building conditions and compliance with local regulations.
