142-144 Alpine Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 142 Alpine Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by the Fouzia Zaheer 2016 Trust, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple compliance issues since its construction in 1906. Most recently, in September 2023, permits were filed for an additional dwelling unit (ADU) on the first floor, following earlier concerns about unpermitted basement work that was addressed through a completed permit in August 2023. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, including a notable cluster of violations in late 2018 related to rodent infestation, mold, window repairs, plumbing problems, and smoke detector issues, all of which were abated by February 2019.

Previous construction work has included various renovations, such as a 2019 second-floor remodel with a new bathroom, significant foundation and waterproofing work in 2005, and termite repairs in 1998. The building's recent history raises some concerns about compliance and construction practices, with active complaints as of 2024 regarding permits and foundation work. The property had faced multiple violations in 2018, though these were addressed through appropriate repairs and permits, including water heater installation and electrical rewiring.

Historic complaints from 2019 suggested possible unpermitted dwelling units and rental activities, though subsequent investigations did not result in violations. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including electrical system upgrades, plumbing work, and structural modifications, though some earlier permits from 2006 and 2019 expired without completion. Recent 311 calls related to the property have primarily concerned routine urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, rather than building-specific problems.
