173-175 Alpine Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 173-175 Alpine Terrace, built in 1905, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decades, with recent improvements focusing on interior updates and infrastructure maintenance. Most notably, in 2023, the building received comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels ($53,000) including new fixtures and finishes, along with electrical upgrades including new lights, switches, and receptacles. A re-roofing project was completed in October 2024 at a cost of $36,000.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including window replacements in 2016 and structural work in 1993 involving support posts and footings. Of particular interest is the building's unit configuration history, with an unsuccessful attempt in 2022 to convert the property from three units to two units, which was disapproved through multiple permits and planning applications. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2009, which were not found to have ongoing issues.

While there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles on the street near the property between 2009-2010, these were all resolved when vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. More recently, in January 2025, there was an open report regarding sidewalk graffiti in front of the property that falls under street and environmental services jurisdiction. The building's owners, Roy S & Marcia A Grunow Rev, have maintained the property through regular updates and repairs, though the rejected unit conversion application suggests no current plans to alter the building's legal unit configuration.
