80 Terra Vista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

80 Terra Vista Ave is a three-story, 27-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1950, currently owned by Romel California LLC. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades and modifications over the past several years, most notably the addition of six R-2 ADUs in 2020, which included fire alarm system modifications and new low-frequency sounders. Between 2017 and 2018, comprehensive fire safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system, a new fire alarm system, and associated electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling over $100,000.

In 2018, the building received 59 new aluminum windows, and the same year, major electrical upgrades were completed to accommodate additional units, including new subpanels and various appliances. More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's infrastructure and resident comfort. In early 2022, multiple complaints were filed about persistent hot water issues affecting all 48 units, following a broken pipe incident. In May 2023, a complaint was lodged regarding window-related mold issues in one unit, though this was marked as resolved by June 2023.

The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with multiple fire complaints recorded between 2016 and 2023, though most were resolved promptly with "Condition Corrected" outcomes. A more recent fire violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements remains open. The property has a history of regular maintenance and improvements, including reroofing work in 2006 and various building permits for safety system upgrades. While most historical building violations from 2004-2005 were promptly addressed, the recent history suggests ongoing challenges with consistent building systems performance, particularly regarding fire safety systems and plumbing infrastructure.
