704-710 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 704-710 19th Avenue property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1919 and currently owned by the Wing K & Elaine Y W Li Revo Trust, this apartment building has undergone several recent renovations and faced multiple compliance issues. Most notably, in August 2023, the property was the subject of multiple building violations and complaints regarding unpermitted work, including unauthorized bathroom remodeling and concerns about construction work affecting neighboring units.

These violations led to subsequent permitted work to install LED lights and make related electrical and drywall modifications. The building has a documented history of maintenance concerns, with a significant cluster of violations filed in September 2022 related to electrical outlets, floor coverings, and lead paint hazards, all of which were abated by January 2023. The property has undergone various improvements and repairs over the years, including a bathroom remodel (August 2023), installation of a 50-amp sub panel, and shower pan work. Historical records show earlier maintenance work, such as staircase repairs in 2005 and exterior stucco work in 1988.

Tenant complaints have raised concerns about general disrepair, including issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and interior finishes. Recent complaints in 2024 mentioned ceiling leaks, wall cracks, and bathroom functionality issues. The building's maintenance and compliance history suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple instances of unpermitted work and subsequent corrective actions required by city authorities. The property has also generated various 311 calls primarily related to parking issues and occasional reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity.
