4071-4077 19th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94132

The six-unit apartment building at 4071-4077 19th Avenue in Ingleside Heights, constructed in 1959, has undergone several significant improvements to ensure resident safety and comfort. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (initially started in 2017), eliminating the front moment frame and installing strong walls, with the project having received its Certificate of Final Completion.

The property underwent various maintenance and upgrades over the years, including electrical service improvements with a 200-amp underground conversion completed in 2007, reroofing projects in 1996 and 2007, and renovation of two units' kitchens and baths in 1997. The building has a documented history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including termite damage repairs in 1991 and wooden stairway repairs in 2003-2004.

Several violations were recorded between 2000 and 2003, primarily related to fire safety, including issues with garbage receptacle placement, the need for sprinklers, and emergency egress concerns, though all were resolved by November 2000. Recent activity (as of late 2024) shows ongoing maintenance challenges with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding waste removal between November and December 2024, though most were resolved promptly by city services or Recology. While there are some concerns about exterior maintenance, particularly regarding graffiti and sidewalk cleaning based on recent 311 calls, the building appears to be structurally sound with all major safety upgrades completed.
