130-132 Alpine Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential property at 130-132 Alpine Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, built in 1906 and owned by Kristin Emde, is a two-story flats and duplex building containing four units. The property has undergone significant renovations between 2021-2022, with multiple permits showing substantial work including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, HVAC installation, insulation improvements, and exterior maintenance. Notable recent improvements from July 2022 involved addressing dry rot with partial exterior siding replacement and closing two windows and one door, along with installing four replacement windows.

The building experienced a significant code compliance issue in April 2022, when an inspection revealed unauthorized construction work beyond the approved scope, including new window locations, new walls for laundry rooms and bedrooms, and exterior siding modifications on the west and south elevations. Recent records show the building underwent major electrical work in August 2024, including replacement of the main switch (Federal Pacific) and additional electrical improvements. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, with several fire safety violations documented in 2001 (all of which were abated), and multiple complaints about construction-related disturbances in 2022 regarding noise, working hours, and site safety.

There have been routine housing inspections in 2001, 2011, and 2010, with past complaints suggesting concerns about bathroom and kitchen functionality, though these issues were resolved. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including a complete reroofing in 2006 and various plumbing improvements. While recent history shows substantial investment in building improvements, the property has experienced periods of construction-related disturbances and compliance issues that required subsequent correction, particularly during the 2021-2022 renovation period.
