259-261 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The two-unit residential building at 259-261 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1918, currently owned by the Mark Masao Yokoro Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, notably a reroofing project in 2016 that was cancelled, and a completed stucco replacement project in 2008 valued at $8,000, though this work initially triggered safety complaints in February 2009 concerning unfinished areas on the sides of the building and incomplete work on the facade's upper turrets, which were reportedly concerning in terms of structural integrity.

An older permit from 1999 for vinyl siding installation expired without completion. The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2023 regarding human/animal waste, loose garbage, and toter management, with the most recent being a noise complaint in February 2023.

Of particular note is a smoke detector activation incident, though this was due to malfunction and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and neighborhood upkeep, particularly regarding waste management, while the interior safety systems have had at least one documented malfunction.
