190 Brighton Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story, five-unit apartment building at 190 Brighton Ave in the Ingleside neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Z Realty LLC, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. The most substantial recent work includes comprehensive upgrades to Unit #2 in 2017 costing $44,000, covering bathroom and kitchen remodeling, electricals, and addition of modern appliances. Unit #3 received similar treatment in 2015, involving extensive sheetrock repair and bathroom remodeling, with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades.

Historic improvements include electrical service upgrade to 400A in 2004, window replacements in 2004, and office unit renovations in 2006. The building has a documented history of violations from 2001 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with fire extinguishers, gas meter instructions, damaged ceilings, and weatherproofing, though all were officially abated by September 2001. Several complaints regarding unauthorized construction work were reported in 2006, particularly concerning window modifications and interior remodeling, though these were resolved.

A notable issue occurred in 2010 when ground floor office unit #5 was converted to a dwelling unit with unauthorized kitchen facilities, requiring remediation in 2014. More recently, there have been multiple reports of parking violations and garbage issues in the vicinity of the property throughout 2024, though these are external to the building's management and maintenance. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep by the current ownership.
