419 Brazil Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 419 Brazil Avenue in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood is a one-story residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and currently owned by Edmond Wong. The building has a history of significant maintenance and compliance issues, most notably an active building violation from February 2010 related to unauthorized alterations in unit #1, including the illegal partitioning of a living room, unauthorized attic modifications, inadequate light and ventilation, fire safety concerns regarding an unpermitted storage area, and obstruction of egress with a telescoping ladder.

There are also ongoing housing complaints from 2010 about water damage and mold affecting multiple rooms, including leaks in ceilings and skylights, though the specific abatement status is currently marked as active. The building's history includes several permit records, such as vinyl siding installation in 1990 and a gas houseline extension in 2010.

The property has experienced recurring enforcement issues in recent years, with multiple parking violations reported between late 2023 and 2024, including instances of sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, some resulting in citations. Additionally, there have been complaints about garbage management, with multiple reports of waste receptacles being left out continuously between 2023 and 2024, though these were resolved through outreach and enforcement efforts. While some historical complaints, such as those regarding an allegedly illegal ground floor unit and garage office space from 1999, are no longer active, the current violations and complaints indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
