138-140 Lower Ter, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 138-140 Lower Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Corona Heights neighborhood, owned by John Williams. The building underwent significant renovations between 2016 and 2018, including major interior reconfigurations and safety improvements. In 2016, plans were completed to infill walls, create a new fourth bedroom, modify kitchen layouts, and install a new roof deck with hatch access.

A more substantial renovation in 2017 involved bathroom conversions, family room modifications, and the addition of fire-rated property line windows at the second and third floors. Multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work were issued during this period, encompassing bathroom additions, water supply line installations, and various kitchen and bathroom remodels. The building's history includes notable events such as a tenant buyout in December 2015 where two tenants received $112,794 and one tenant received $25,600, and an attempted but withdrawn permit in 2016 for adding an ADU within the first-floor storage area.

More recent concerns have centered around parking issues near the property, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024 for illegal parking and driveway blockages. There have also been two notable noise complaints in August 2023 linked to entertainment activities, and a flooding incident reported in December 2022 that was determined to be an internal sewer issue under the homeowner's responsibility. While the extensive renovations of 2016-2018 significantly upgraded the building's facilities, recent parking and utility issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
