1870-1872 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1870-1872 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by David Lee. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over its history. Most notably, in May 2013, the property experienced serious maintenance issues that resulted in a cluster of building violations, including general dilapidation, faulty weather protection, hazardous plumbing, and problems with ventilation, kitchen appliances, and lead paint hazards.

These violations were resolved by June 2013. More recent improvements include a filed bathroom remodel in 2020 costing $30,000, termite repairs completed in 2003, water heater replacement in 2015, and the installation of two solar PV systems in 2014 (3.6kW and 1.44kW). The building's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades, including a 125-amp electrical service upgrade in 2003, window replacement in 1998, and reroofing in 1988. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street maintenance and public services, including reports of overflowing city garbage cans, pavement defects, and hazardous materials in the vicinity.

Two complaints filed in 2012 regarding stairway safety and illegal unit concerns were addressed and resolved. Recent building maintenance appears to be more proactive, with no active violations or complaints currently on record. The most recent service requests in 2024 have been primarily related to street and sidewalk issues, which were directed to appropriate city departments and resolved. The property's historical records show significant ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, particularly in addressing the major violations from 2013 and implementing sustainable features like solar panels.
