149-153 Buena Vista Ter, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 149-153 Buena Vista Terrace is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, built in 1907 and currently owned by Michael K Allen & Billy W E. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, most notably the recent window and patio door replacements in April 2024, which included installation of wood-clad windows on side and rear facades, and wood windows on the front facade, at a cost of $43,000.

This followed a similar 2022 project involving window and patio door replacements in units 149, 151, and 153. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with a complete reroofing in 2007 and multiple deck replacements in 1993-1994. Of particular concern is an active building violation from November 2008 regarding an improperly installed backwater valve, which remains unresolved despite several notices of violation between November 2008 and December 2008.

This plumbing issue appears to be interconnected with multiple plumbing permits from 2010, including work on the sewer system and installation of a backwater valve, though details indicate these permits ultimately expired. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2002, 2009, 2015) with most being resolved, but the persistent backwater valve issue from 2008 stands out as the only active violation. Recent activity at the property includes several 311 calls in late 2023 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning, sign repairs, and graffiti removal, though these are more related to general property maintenance rather than structural or safety concerns.
