97 Fortuna Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 97 Fortuna Ave (also known as 71-81 Terra Vista Ave) has undergone significant changes since its construction in 1951. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022, which included multiple revisions to the shearwall placements, though there were initial compliance issues that resulted in violations in 2019.

Between 2018-2020, the building underwent major expansion work, adding three new dwelling units (ADUs) with associated kitchen and bathroom facilities, while legalizing an additional unit. The construction period saw several compliance issues, with multiple building complaints filed in 2012 regarding unpermitted electrical, plumbing, and structural work, though these violations were eventually abated. Recent activity includes construction underway as of early 2024, with multiple permits issued for unit 71B and 71C involving electrical and plumbing work.

There have been some tenant concerns about construction practices, including reports of dust, possible asbestos, and mold in 2022 and 2023, though these complaints were marked as not active. The building's major systems have been consistently updated, with recent plumbing and electrical work permitted and ongoing as of 2024. While the property has experienced multiple violations and complaints over the years, particularly during periods of renovation, the most recent work appears to be properly permitted and follows current building codes.
