18 Precita Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 18 Precita Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by the Louie Henry Pain Trust, has a documented history spanning several decades since its 1900 construction. The property has undergone some maintenance work, including a 2011 permit for dry rot step repairs costing $1,000, and a roofing project in 1994, though the latter permit is now expired.

The building has experienced multiple tenant complaints over the years, with particularly notable issues in the 1990s including reports of pest infestations (roaches and rodents), appliance malfunctions (refrigerator problems), interior maintenance issues (chipping paint and wall holes), and a leak-related complaint in 1996, with the latter three cases all being resolved between 1994-1996. A concerning 2018 complaint was filed regarding trash blocking a hallway and fire escape, though this case is currently listed as not active. More recently, there have been significant parking enforcement concerns in the vicinity of the property, with ten documented cases of sidewalk parking violations between November 2024 and January 2025, resulting in several citations being issued.

The building's records also show one gas leak incident, though it appears to have resulted in no civilian injuries. A tenant buyout occurred at a neighboring address (20 Precita Avenue) in November 2018, involving two tenants and a payout of $15,000. The property appears to be currently operated under a trust arrangement, with no recent building permits or major maintenance issues reported in the past decade, though the presence of multiple parking enforcement cases in the immediate vicinity may impact resident experience.
