1800-1802 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94122

The property at 1800-1802 19th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story, multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by 1800 19th Avenue LLC. The building has a documented history of code compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized renovations and safety concerns. Most notably, there is an active complaint from 2017 (Complaint #201764202) concerning unpermitted work that involved approximately 17 exterior windows, an exit door replacement, and laundry area modifications, which included plumbing and electrical work. This violation has resulted in monthly monitoring fees.

The building has undergone several significant renovation projects in recent years, including window and door replacements, a laundry remodel, and bathroom/kitchen renovations, typically following initial violations. The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, with completed work including sewer repair (2010), installation of new water service (2010), and more recent laundry room rewiring (2019, shown as both plumbing and electrical work). Several building violations from 2010 relating to unauthorized plumbing work (PEX piping, water heater installation, and water service connections) were eventually resolved, and a 2006 violation regarding an unpermitted furnace installation was abated. More recent resident concerns include a 2022 complaint about an excessively loud generator affecting sleep and causing structural concerns in the commercial space.

The property has maintained its permitted advertising sign installation, with periodic maintenance work carried out by Clear Channel Outdoor, though there has been some history of unauthorized signage modifications that required correction. Recent maintenance activity around the property has primarily focused on exterior upkeep, with multiple reports in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the surrounding sidewalk area, though these are standard urban street maintenance issues. The building has experienced one recorded fire incident, which was a false alarm with no civilian injuries. While the property has had multiple code violations and complaints over the years, many of these have been addressed through permits and corrections, though the active violation from 2017 remains notable in terms of ongoing compliance requirements.
