655-657 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 655-657 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Ta Kioh Buddhist Temple and constructed in 1922. The building's record shows significant safety upgrades were completed between 2000-2002, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system (July 2000), a new fire alarm system (July 2001), and the conversion of the property into a one-stop residential care facility for six or fewer elderly persons (1999), though some related permits from this period are listed as expired.

Earlier records indicate structural modifications including the removal of an elevator and kitchen renovations in 2000, and exterior work such as front garage re-stuccoing in 1990. More recent history of the property suggests ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity, with numerous parking-related complaints recorded between 2020-2024, particularly concerning vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks.

From June 2022 through November 2024, there have been eight documented incidents of vehicles obstructing access or parking improperly near the property, with several cases resulting in citations, though some complaints ended with officers unable to locate the offending vehicles. A documented case regarding "operating church out of residence" suggests regulatory scrutiny of the property's usage, though this issue was marked as abated. The most recent building permit activity on record is from July 2018, relating to street space use at minimal cost.
