478 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

This two-unit residential building, located at 478 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912 and currently owned by the John M & Lily T Lee Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and safety-related interventions: a fire incident requiring repairs in 1988, concrete underpinning work on the north wall footing in 1995 (with a subsequent permit renewal in 1997), and two reroofing projects in 1991 and 2005 costing $8,850.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly regarding sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, with multiple incidents recorded between 2018 and 2025. In total, there have been 12 parking-related complaints in the past five years, though several of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles.

A notable public safety concern arose in December 2024 when a refrigerator appliance was reported as garbage and debris on the street, which was subsequently resolved. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and structural care over the decades, though the ages of the most recent reroofing (completed in 2005) and the expired status of several permits could indicate that these work items may now be significantly older than their originally intended lifespan.
