90 Terra Vista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 10-unit, 5-story apartment building at 90 Terra Vista Ave in the Anza Vista neighborhood, built in 1963 and currently owned by David Hwang, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a substantial fire safety upgrade, including a new fire alarm system installation at a cost of $49,999 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. This was preceded by electrical work that included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an upgrade to the fire alarm panel.

The building has also seen major infrastructure improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2023 costing $35,000, the replacement of electrical sub-panels in 2018, and a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 to improve seismic safety. Historical maintenance records show attention to various building systems, including plumbing upgrades such as a water heater replacement in 2010 and gas line work in 2020. The building experienced some fire safety compliance issues in 2008, specifically regarding storage in the garage and fire alarm certification, but these were resolved within two months.

Several routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with identified issues typically being promptly corrected, including fire extinguisher and alarm system concerns in 2016 and 2017. Recent 311 calls primarily document issues such as graffiti, noise complaints, and parking violations, with the most concerning being a 2024 mechanical equipment noise complaint that is currently open. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing (with multiple reroofing projects noted) and periodic exterior repairs, including stucco work in 1992 and 2000. The property has maintained compliance with current building safety requirements, as evidenced by its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit completion status and the absence of active violations.
