3856 19th St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 3856 19th Street, owned by the Joshua Taylor 2015 Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1962. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) to improve seismic safety, with a cost of $25,000. Other major renovations include reroofing work in 2014 ($15,200), and substantial structural repairs in 2001-2002 involving stair replacement and deck/roof work ($75,000).

The building has a documented history of maintenance and repairs, including addressing water damage in 1995, termite treatment in 1986, and modifications to the garden room in 1983. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external issues rather than internal building concerns. The building has had routine apartment inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2002 and 2008, with no significant violations noted in recent years.

Between 2023 and 2024, there have been multiple 311 calls related to external matters including parking violations, sidewalk conditions, and garbage cleaning. Of particular note, there are open noise complaints as of 2024, including reports of excessive noise and construction-related disturbances. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and compliance with major safety requirements, though recent complaints suggest some ongoing challenges with external property management and neighborhood interactions.
