Augrented Insights Report

The 55-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1100-1128 Polk Street, owned by the John E Wai 1981 Living Trust, was built in 1917 and has undergone various renovations and faced recurring maintenance issues. Most notably, the building is currently experiencing significant elevator problems, with multiple tenant complaints since October 2024 indicating the elevator has been non-functional for nearly two years, directly impacting disabled access and resident convenience.

Recent building safety concerns include a July 2024 violation related to sprinkler/standpipe systems and a September 2023 violation for missing documentation regarding fire safety equipment maintenance. The property has seen substantial interior renovations over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 210, 304, and 316, roof replacement in 2018, and recent commercial space modifications including soundproofing insulation in 2019.

Historical building violations from 2004-2005 included issues with lead paint hazards, plumbing, electrical systems, and an inoperative elevator, all of which were eventually resolved. Recent complaints also indicate concerns with the garbage disposal system, as management temporarily disabled garbage chutes in late 2024, forcing residents to use alternative disposal methods. The building's fire safety system has been the subject of multiple incidents and violations, though most fire-related emergencies recorded were for non-injury incidents such as gas leaks, electrical issues, and assist calls.
