375 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 375 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of an earlier residential structure in 1985. The 3-story apartment building has recently undergone significant safety upgrades, including a complete fire alarm system modernization in April 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Department Code AB-3.08, which includes the installation of low-frequency sounders in all sleeping areas. This upgrade, costing $37,000, is part of a larger initiative to enhance building safety, as evidenced by the recent electrical permit issued for the same fire alarm system upgrade.

The building's history includes several notable events from 2004, when multiple housing code violations were recorded, including issues with interior surfaces such as damaged walls, ceilings, and the presence of mold/mildew. These violations, along with resident complaints about various safety concerns including fire escape exit, window safety, and water leakage, were all officially abated by March 2004. A subsequent complaint in 2004 detailed issues with safety features, balcony conditions, and garage ventilation, which was resolved by January 2005.

The building underwent reroofing work in 2002 and has had several street-related permits, most recently for sidewalk maintenance. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily involved street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building itself. The property has not had any recorded fire incidents resulting in civilian injuries in recent history.
