1476-1478 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1476-1478 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Peng Chen Kuo & Ruei Hgua. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a completo reroofing in 2003 (cost: $17,800), kitchen remodeling in 1992, and window installation in 1985. More recently, the building faced notable challenges with heating and safety compliance in mid-2020, when a series of violations were recorded regarding inadequate heating, lack of fire extinguishers, and missing smoke/carbon monoxide alarm certifications.

These violations were addressed by November 2020 following the installation of a new furnace (2020) and compliance with safety requirements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems, including a gas line extension in 2013 and multiple routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 2006-2008. The property has experienced regular upkeep and some notable events, such as a tenant buyout at 1478 19th Avenue in May 2022 for $62,500.

Recent maintenance activities have included sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, with multiple 311 calls recorded in 2023-2024 primarily related to environmental concerns like garbage removal and graffiti. The building's historical permit applications show various proposed improvements, including a cancelled plan for an additional story in 1987 and an expired curb cut permit from 1986. The property's recent history indicates improved compliance with safety regulations, though it experienced significant heating issues in 2020 requiring multiple inspections and corrections. The building benefits from routine maintenance and prompt attention to violations when they occur, as evidenced by the relatively quick resolution of the 2020 safety violations.
