919 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 26-unit, 4-story apartment building at 919 Sutter Street, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by James A & Souzi Qubain Rvc, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are recent complaints from January 2025 regarding electrical work quality, with residents reporting frequent tripped breakers and safety concerns.

The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple reports of cockroach infestations and inadequate extermination methods in late 2024 and early 2025. There are active maintenance concerns including a December 2023 violation for sleeping area requirements and a 2023 violation related to alarm systems, with previous violations for sprinkler system maintenance. The building's history shows periodic maintenance work, including a $27,000 window replacement project in 2014, structural improvements in 2012, and seismic upgrading completed in 1993.

However, there have been persistent issues with water intrusion and mold, particularly affecting unit 24, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023 regarding leaking ceilings and damaged interior surfaces. The property has undergone several major maintenance projects over the years, including reroofing in 2003 and 1988, and various structural and safety improvements, but recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance standards. While the building's historical records show some attention to major systems and structural integrity, the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate potential concerns with current maintenance practices and building systems reliability.
