1253 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1253 19th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by Choy Hing Pong Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1963 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history, with the most critical being a fire incident in 2008 that resulted in substantial damage to Unit #3. The fire required multiple permits for repairs, including three permits in 2008 totaling $35,000 for building, plumbing, and electrical work, followed by additional structural repairs in 2019 costing $32,581 to replace damaged framing and siding. The building has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2000, 2002, 2009, and 2018), with the 2000 inspection revealing multiple issues including damaged walls, ceilings, and fire safety concerns such as egress obstructions and combustible storage, though these violations were all abated by March 23, 2000.

Recent maintenance and safety records show regular attention to the building's infrastructure, including reroofing work in 1997 (permit expired) and various unit improvements. Two fire-related incidents were recorded - one detector activation and one false alarm, neither resulting in injuries. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years (2020-2024), primarily related to street cleaning, parking enforcement, and a vandalized traffic sign in 2020, though these are external to the building itself.

The most recent 311 interactions suggest ongoing attention to public areas around the building, with the most recent cases involving garbage-related issues in 2023 and parking concerns being addressed through standard enforcement procedures. The building's record indicates a history of fire-related incidents, with noticeable improvements and repairs made following the 2008 event, and successful resolution of past housing violations. Regular inspections and prompt attention to identified issues demonstrate ongoing maintenance, though the fire-related incidents and associated repairs represent the most significant events in the building's history.
