1331-1333 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1331-1333 19th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Lyman Lai Irrevocable Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1907 construction. The building underwent several maintenance and safety-related inspections in the early 2000s, with significant violations recorded in 2000 including issues with smoke enclosure doors, fire safety equipment, and security requirements.

While these violations were abated by March 2000, further concerns were raised in 2002 regarding wood stairs and decks, and in 2003 regarding mold around the furnace in the basement. More recent maintenance history is limited to some permits for reroofing work in 1996 and termite damage repairs in 1987, along with street space permits obtained in 2005 and 2007. In the past decade, the building has experienced several maintenance issues including a bathroom sink leak and malfunctioning kitchen windows reported in 2014.

The property has also faced multiple external challenges in recent years, with numerous 311 calls between late 2023 and early 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the street, including multiple reports of human waste. Notably, there was a tenant buyout at the nearby 1327 19th Avenue address in 2022 involving three tenants and a payment of $45,000, though this does not directly pertain to the subject building. The most recent documented issue at the property was a parking complaint in January 2024, which was deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information.
