1271-1273 19Th Ave

Hello, I am submitting this complaint anonymously regarding suspected illegal short-term rental activity at: • 1267 19th Ave, San Francisco • 1271–1273 19th Ave, San Francisco These two adjacent buildings appear to be operated together by the same family, with multiple Airbnb listings distributed across different family members’ names. People involved (as shown on listings): • Judy Kwok (mother / owner) • Maximilian Kwok (son) • Kimberly Tseng (son’s wife) • Al Kwok (deceased father – still listed on at least one Airbnb profile) • Victoria Kwok (daughter, now living in the East Bay) Active Airbnb listings observed: 1271–1273 19th Ave: • “Sunny Rooms” (top floor, physically connected by stairway to Maximilian/Kimberly’s residence): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1016637356063563355 • “Comfortable Home” (second floor, listed under Kimberly Tseng): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1471130499500942982 There is also a bottom-floor studio unit in this building that appears to be rented short-term, but I was unable to locate the current Airbnb listing. It may now be rented outside Airbnb. 1267 19th Ave (where Judy Kwok lives): • Bedroom/office (monthly): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1135124809472163540 • Bedroom/loft (monthly): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/624238249806327544 • 2-bedroom “Airy Apt” (co-hosted by Judy Kwok, Maximilian Kwok, and Al Kwok, who is deceased): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1360254377030299397 Summary of concerns: 1. Multiple listings appear to be controlled by the same household/family across both buildings, which seems to exceed the one-primary-residence-per-person requirement. 2. Maximilian Kwok and Kimberly Tseng live together at 1271–1273 19th Ave, yet separate Airbnb units in the same building are listed under each of their names. 3. Units in the 1271–1273 building are physically connected via internal stairways (some locked or inaccessible) but marketed as separate rentals. 4. Victoria Kwok previously claimed a unit as her primary residence but moved to the East Bay. There was prior city enforcement related to this. Despite this, listings appear to have continued under family members’ names. 5. At 1267 19th Ave, three Airbnb listings are active despite Judy Kwok residing in only one unit. 6. Al Kwok has passed away but remains listed as a host/co-host on at least one active Airbnb listing. Overall, this appears to be a coordinated short-term rental operation across multiple units and buildings using different family members’ names, rather than independent primary residences. Please investigate compliance with primary residence requirements, registration validity (including listings under a deceased individual), and whether these units are being operated as a commercial STR operation. Thank you for reviewing. Anonymous Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
