359 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family apartment building at 359 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by CC&R Ventures LLC, was constructed in 1973 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most notably, in 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding mold and ventilation problems in one of the bathrooms, with tenants reporting inadequate responses from the landlord, including improper bathtub replacement, drainage issues, and inadequate ventilation improvements.

The building has a documented history of fire safety violations from October 2002, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance and smoke detector installation, though these violations were promptly addressed within two weeks of being issued. Since then, there have been three routine housing inspections (2002, 2009, and 2019) with the most recent inspection focusing on the aforementioned mold issues. Recent records from late 2023 show multiple external challenges near the property, including three garbage and debris incidents in 2024 (involving a refrigerator, mattress, and general garbage), and several parking enforcement actions for blocking driveways.

There have also been two encampment-related incidents near the property in December 2023, with one involving an aggressive individual attempting to camp in a garage doorway at a neighboring address. While these external issues do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions, they provide context about the immediate neighborhood environment. The building's planning records indicate that it is classified as a 4-unit, 2-story structure over a garage, and had CEQA Clearance issued, suggesting compliance with environmental regulations at the time of review.
