157-159 Alpine Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 157-159 Alpine Terrace, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by James Daniel & Eunice. The property underwent significant renovation in 2012-2013, including comprehensive updates to both kitchens, multiple bathroom renovations, and interior improvements valued at $100,000.

During this period, the building also received electrical upgrades with the installation of a new sub-panel, complete plumbing renovations including new radiant heating systems, water heater updates, and various plumbing improvements. The renovation project included additional infrastructure work, such as converting the residence from single-family to two-unit status and enlarging the basement, with necessary variances approved. Historical maintenance records show attention to basic building upkeep, including reroofing in 2003 and the replacement of terrazzo steps in 2000.

Two significant foundation and electrical upgrades were completed in 1984. The building experienced a water-related issue in September 2017 involving the water main, which was classified as a sewer issue and transferred to the PUC - Water department, though this appears to be the only documented maintenance issue in recent years. Despite the building's age, the comprehensive 2012-2013 renovation work has resulted in modernized living spaces and systems, though it's worth noting that some permits were issued with very minimal costs ($1) which may indicate administrative or procedural work rather than substantive changes.
