1562-1564 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1562-1564 19th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1944 and currently owned by James Hin. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a kitchen renovation in 2006 involving countertop and cabinet installations, and a significant electrical upgrade in 2010 with the replacement of a 200-amp panel. More concerning is a serious maintenance issue reported in 2016 involving faulty bathroom plumbing and multiple gas leak incidents that resulted in hazardous reports from PG&E, with the landlord's attempts at repairs apparently proving inadequate.

An earlier structural concern was documented in 2001 regarding a deteriorating wood retaining wall and dry bush in the backyard that posed a potential fire hazard. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns. In 2024, there have been multiple reports of city garbage cans overflowing in the vicinity, though no specific city can was located during inspections.

The area has experienced recurring issues with illegal postings and sidewalk parking violations, with parking enforcement responding to at least two specific incidents involving vehicles parked on the sidewalk. The most recent complaint, recorded in December 2024, involved garbage and debris including furniture, which has been resolved. While these external issues don't directly impact the building's habitability, they do indicate ongoing challenges with property and street maintenance in the immediate vicinity.
