16 Loyola Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 16 Loyola Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922 in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, currently owned by the Yee Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, most notably in 2017 when substantial renovations were completed including the addition of a media room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and new interior stairs on the first floor, along with a kitchen and bathroom remodel and new full bath addition on the second floor.

This work was properly permitted and included extensive updates to the building's electrical system (new 200-amp service panel with multiple circuits and safety features) and plumbing systems (two new bathrooms and shower pans, hot water heater, furnace installation). The building's history includes challenges with unauthorized modifications and compliance issues, particularly during the 1990s and 2000s when there were multiple violations related to illegal unit conversions, including two kitchens and two bathrooms in the garage area, which were ultimately resolved through permitted removals in 2008. A significant violation was documented in 2007 citing multiple life safety concerns, including inadequate egress, lack of permanent heating sources, unapproved wiring and plumbing, and ventilation issues, though records show these were addressed and the violation was abated by 2013.

Recent maintenance issues have included sidewalk concerns noted in 2024, and there have been multiple noise-related complaints in early 2024, though these appear to be routine neighborhood issues rather than building-specific problems. The property has maintained its legal status as a two-unit building, with previous illegal unit conversions having been properly addressed through various permits and compliance measures over the years. The most recent construction work in 2017 demonstrates investment in improving the building's systems and living spaces, while recent maintenance issues have primarily concerned exterior infrastructure rather than building systems or safety concerns.
