19 Bessie St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 19 Bessie Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Gabriel Aguilera, is a single-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property underwent significant approved improvements in 2018-2019, including the construction of new bedrooms and bathrooms at both ground and basement levels, relocation of the kitchen, installation of a new staircase connecting the two levels, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling approximately $60,000.

These improvements were properly completed and included additional features such as a shower pan, sump pump, and relocation of the furnace and flue. More recently, the property has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues. In October 2023, there was a water main leak that required field work to resolve.

The surrounding area has seen numerous 311 calls between 2023 and 2024, primarily relating to encampment removals, street cleaning, and debris issues, though these external matters do not directly affect the building's condition. Notable ongoing concerns include an open tree damage report from November 2024 and a bicycle sharing operations request from November 2023. The building's permit and planning records confirm that the major renovation work was limited to Unit A, with no modifications to the second-floor unit.
