451 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 451 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Gipper 2000 LLC, has experienced persistent water-related issues since its construction in 1965. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including window and slider replacements in 2012, a complete reroofing in 2012, and stair and deck repairs in 2013.

A notable cluster of water-related complaints occurred between 2013-2022, with multiple incidents of water intrusion, dampness, and mold growth, particularly during rainy periods, though some of these issues were reportedly addressed through building permits for window repairs and stucco work in 2017. The property has experienced maintenance challenges with various building systems, including electrical, plumbing, and fire safety features. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in October 2002, including issues with fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, gas utility shutoff tools, stairs, combustible storage, and electrical outlets, though these were all abated by March 2003.

Recent service requests and complaints, particularly during 2023-2024, have primarily concerned parking issues and debris removal, suggesting improved overall building conditions. The most recent building complaint from October 2022 noted water intrusion, insect/rodent issues, and ceiling leaks in the garage, though these issues were marked as not active in August 2024. The property's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep through various building permits, including a recent repair related to wood siding and bay window leaks in 2017, though some recurring water-related issues suggest ongoing challenges with moisture management in the building.
