363 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 363 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1961 and currently owned by Hum Ann L, has shown recent commitment to safety improvements with the completion of significant upgrades to the fire alarm system in August 2023, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updates to all existing devices to comply with current fire codes. The building has a history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including the resolution of multiple fire-related violations in 2002 that involved the fire escape ladder, combustible storage, and the need for a gas utility shutoff tool, all of which were abated by February 15, 2002.

Previous complaints and violations from 2005-2009 highlight some recurring issues with water damage, including leaking kitchen pipes and ceiling problems, though these were also resolved. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both internal and external upkeep, with improvements made to aluminum windows in 1991 and gas piping work completed in unit #2 in 2009. Recent years have seen several 311 calls related to debris and furniture on the property, particularly in 2024, though these were generally resolved promptly.

Fire safety appears to be a recurring focus, with three documented fire complaints between 2008 and 2022 regarding combustible materials and alarm systems, all of which were corrected. While the building has experienced multiple false alarms and system activations, these incidents did not result in any injuries. The property's historical records, dating back to 1998, show various maintenance and inspection responses, but all listed complaints and violations have been marked as not active, indicating they have been resolved.
