48-50 Upper Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 48-50 Upper Terrace, owned by the Brenda Watts Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1937 in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades, with the most recent work focused on window improvements.

In 2023, seven wooden casement sashes were installed at a cost of $11,300, following a 2021 project that replaced eight street-facing casement windows with insulated glass and true divided lites ($16,500). The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, including dry rot repairs in 1996 and 2010, when approximately 40 square feet of stucco was removed at the rear door to address dry-rot damage near the deck. The property has experienced several recent infrastructure and maintenance issues in 2024-2025, including a water leak that required attention in January 2025, and there is currently an open sidewalk defect reported in January 2025.

The surrounding area has faced some topical challenges, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity and instances of graffiti on the public sidewalk in late 2024. While these external issues have been mostly resolved through city services, they may impact the general environment around the building. The building's documented history shows consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, particularly with the recent focus on window improvements for energy efficiency and aesthetics.
