219 Clinton Park, San Francisco, CA 94103

219 Clinton Park is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Mission Dolores, built in 1924 and currently owned by Henry and Lorraine Pastorino. The property has experienced several significant structural and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding serious structural concerns, including buckling plaster on interior walls in units 1 and 5, as well as in common areas like the lobby and staircase. These reports suggested possible compromised structure in the garage.

The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 at a cost of $80,000, and two significant plumbing upgrades: a new alleyway drain installed in 2023 and a building sewer/house trap replacement in 2021. The building has faced recurring heating issues, with complaints in both 2021 and 2023 regarding insufficient heating systems that failed to maintain the required 70-degree minimum in occupied rooms. A comprehensive fire system upgrade was completed in 2016, though there have been several fire safety-related complaints over the years, including issues with fire escapes, fire proofing, and fire extinguisher maintenance. The property has also experienced persistent sewer line problems, with multiple incidents of sewage backup reported between 2019-2021, including issues with the upper lateral line that required inspection and repair.

Historical records show various maintenance work including window replacement in 1988, staircase repairs in 2003, and fire system upgrades in 2016, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain the building's basic infrastructure. The building's soft-story retrofit status is listed as complete with Certificate of Final Completion issued, and there have been recurring issues with lead paint hazards that required notification and remediation procedures. The most recent Building Complaints from 2023 suggest ongoing serious structural concerns, while the building has a documented history of heating system inadequacies, plumbing challenges, and fire safety compliance issues. Regular maintenance work, such as street space permits in 2018 and various infrastructure upgrades, indicates some level of active management, though the nature and frequency of complaints suggest challenges in maintaining consistent resident comfort and safety.
