1345 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1345 19th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, built in 1971 and currently owned by the Ngan Ying Lew Revocable Trust, has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance issues. The property underwent reroofing projects in 1990 and 2006, with the latter permit having expired.

In 1995, a family room was converted back into storage space, including removal of a bathroom. A significant cluster of fire safety violations was recorded in October 2001, when multiple issues were identified including combustible storage, the need for automatic fire sprinklers, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke detector installation requirements; all of these violations were officially abated by November 1, 2001. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in both 2001 and 2011, though no major violations were recorded in the most recent inspection.

The area surrounding the property has experienced persistent maintenance and cleanliness issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls documenting instances of graffiti (between 2022-2024), human waste or urine (most recently in December 2024), and other street cleaning matters including a Christmas tree removal in January 2023. While these external maintenance issues do not directly impact building safety, they may affect the surrounding environment. The most recent documented building-specific maintenance activity was the 2006 reroofing project, which, being completed more than 17 years ago, may require follow-up regarding the current condition of the building envelope.
