43 Buena Vista Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 43 Buena Vista Terrace, owned by Benjamin Friend 2012 Trust and built in 1900, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. The most substantial work occurred between 2019-2020, including a major interior remodel valued at $1.2 million that encompassed kitchen and bathroom updates, window replacements, and various structural improvements. This period also saw the installation of modern amenities such as a full radiant heating system, a zoned mini-split system, and a solar photovoltaic system (5.04 kW).

Some plumbing and electrical work generated concerns, including a July 2021 complaint about unpermitted electrical work that caused an extended power outage in the area, though this permit was subsequently renewed. The property has experienced several maintenance and upgrade projects, including a 12-square-foot bathroom addition, front entry stair replacement with improved guardrails, and landscape improvements with permeable pavers. Historical records from the past decade indicate regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, including kitchen remodels in 2016, bathroom renovations, and the installation of new utility services.

The building underwent significant improvements to its sustainability features, including the addition of solar power and radiant heating systems in 2020. There were two notable complaints on record: a 2021 electrical work complaint and a 1998 housing violation regarding single-family rental status. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking issues near the property, these are generally related to street parking rather than building-specific concerns. The property's recent history suggests active management with ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts, particularly in 2019-2020 when the majority of significant improvements were completed.
