116-118 Terra Vista Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The two-unit residential building at 116-118 Terra Vista Ave in Anza Vista, owned by the Bb Mak Family Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1950. The property has undergone several significant modifications and has been subject to multiple compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in August 2022, a soft-story retrofit was filed, and in late 2021, there was an attempt to construct a rear deck and new ADU, valued at $125,000.

This work became contentious when a complaint was filed in July 2021 regarding unpermitted construction of a deck approximately 8 feet above grade, resulting in an active building violation that remains unresolved as of this report. The building has a history of unauthorized unit modifications, with several complaints from 1993 through 1998 regarding illegal units and unauthorized garage conversions. The property has undergone various legitimate improvements, including back landing and steps replacement in 2013, termite repairs in 2005, and condo conversion corrections in 2013.

A significant development proposal is currently pending, seeking to construct a new three-unit, three-story dwelling facing O'Farrell Street on the through-lot, while maintaining the existing structure facing Terra Vista. The location has experienced typical urban issues as noted in 311 calls, including parking violations, encampment reports, and street maintenance matters, though these do not directly pertain to the building's condition or integrity. The building's permit history shows a pattern of both proper permitting and unpermitted construction attempts, with the most critical current issue being the unresolved deck construction violation from 2021.
