1418-1420 Polk St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1418-1420 Polk Street, owned by Kent & Debbie Hiura Revoc T, was constructed in 1911 and contains five apartment units. The building has undergone several important maintenance and safety improvements over the past few decades, including a reroofing project in 2000 costing over $12,000, and a water pipe replacement from the meter to the building's main shut-off valve in 2015.

A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in February 2003, particularly related to safety concerns, including problems with egress obstructions, floor drain covers, fire extinguisher maintenance, and the central alarm system. These violations were all properly addressed and abated by August 2005. More recent history shows the building experienced a fire alarm malfunction (735) with no civilian injuries recorded.

Between October 2023 and December 2024, there has been a notable pattern of street and sidewalk maintenance issues near the property, including multiple reports of human waste and general debris requiring cleaning. A sidewalk defect was reported in March 2024, though this case was closed due to missing information. The property's historical maintenance record shows periodic attention to basic infrastructure needs, though the frequency of recent sanitation-related 311 calls suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate vicinity's upkeep, particularly regarding waste management and sidewalk conditions.
