120-122 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 120-122 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1984, currently owned by Kevin K Gee Wong and Zhao Chu. The building underwent significant renovations between 2020-2022, including a major interior remodel of both units adding 994 square feet to the rear unit and a new roof deck for the front unit. The renovation project, valued at approximately $160,000, encompassed various improvements including kitchen remodels, bathroom upgrades, and window replacements.

During this period, the owners also completed important safety upgrades including the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the building, new hydronic floor heating, and a sprinkler monitoring system. The building has experienced some maintenance issues and resident concerns in recent years. In 2021, there were complaints about noise from compactor and truck operations, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

More concerning was a complaint from 2020 regarding an allegedly illegal in-law unit with complete kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom facilities on the ground floor next to the garage, though this complaint is also listed as not active. The owners have completed several exterior improvements, including stucco replacement work in 2021, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades, though one plumbing permit and one electrical permit from August 2020 were cancelled, possibly indicating completion of similar work under other permits. While the building underwent substantial modernization and safety improvements, the history of noise complaints and the now-resolved illegal unit complaint may suggest past challenges with the property's infrastructure and unit configurations.
