1586 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 1586 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Li Guo Sheng & Yinna Xie, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1945. Most notably, in 2023, the property was documented as operating illegal short-term rentals in both units, with listings on platforms such as Airbnb and Join Overnight, though this violation has since been closed and abated. The building has undergone some infrastructure improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2013 costing $5,000, and a significant electrical upgrade in 2016 that involved installing a 200-amp service main and an additional house meter for both units.

The property has faced various maintenance and quality-of-life issues over recent years, with the most recent being a rodent infestation reported in September 2024. Other notable incidents include a sewage backup incident in September 2020 that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations, and multiple parking-related complaints between 2020 and 2022 involving vehicles blocking sidewalks, some of which resulted in officer citations. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance and infrastructure upgrading, with records indicating attention to roof and electrical systems, though some of the earlier building permits appear to be either cancelled or unrelated to significant improvements.

The property has experienced several environmental and infrastructure challenges, including pavement defects (2023), and waste service requests (2019). While the illegal short-term rental issue has been resolved, the most recent infestation complaint suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The frequency of parking violations in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple enforcement calls, indicates a persistent neighborhood challenge though it primarily affects public space rather than the building itself.
