Initial analysis

The property at 3552-3554 19th Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, owned by Franklin R & Cather Morales, and constructed in 1940. The two-story flats and duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2014-2015. This period saw comprehensive roof deck and stairway renovations, including electrical upgrades and the addition of a hose bibb, with related costs totaling over $32,000. Prior to this, major plumbing work was completed in 2009, including a complete copper re-piping, installation of two tankless water heaters, and new gas lines. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural elements, with earlier work including stucco repairs in 1990 and a previous roofing project in 1988.

Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing issues with street cleanliness around the property, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and overflowing city garbage cans, though most of these cases have been resolved by city services. There is one open case from September 2024 regarding human waste or urine on the street, and as of January 2025, there is an open case concerning public graffiti on a city receptacle. The building has received appropriate permits for all major work performed, including street space permits, and shows compliance with municipal requirements for significant improvements. Recent records indicate proper permissions were obtained for the most recent roof deck and structural work, including electrical and plumbing installations, though one planning record shows a "None" designation for the developer on file.

Risk rating

How 3552-3554 19Th St's risk score is calculated
