278-280 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 278-280 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1916 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The current owners, Hugh Kenneth & Man Xia, have maintained the building with several significant improvements and maintenance activities over the years, including the most recent complete reroofing project in November 2023 costing $11,200.

Historical records show that the building underwent reroofing work in 1996 (which expired) and had rear stair repairs completed in 1986. The property has experienced some external infrastructure challenges, with the most recent being a sidewalk defect due to lifted tree roots that was reported in October 2024 and remains open.

Previous incidents include issues typical of urban environments, such as a human or animal waste cleanup in 2021, offensive graffiti on a pole in 2017, and an abandoned vehicle situation in 2017, all of which were resolved by the respective city agencies. The building's documented permit history also shows two street space permits - one in 2006 and another in 2018, though the purposes and costs of these permits were minimal.
