195 Upper Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 195 Upper Terrace, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant renovations over its history. The most substantial recent work was completed in 2009, involving comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $22,000, marking the most recent major improvement to the property.

Earlier improvements included a substantial $92,000 renovation in 2001 that included remodeling the kitchen, bathroom, and powder room, along with fireplace installation in the living room. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including reroofing in 1998 and repair of dry rot on back stairs in 1988, though some permits from 2001 and 1986 related to roof deck construction and code compliance were expired without completion status. The property has experienced various neighborhood maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the street, abandoned vehicles, and issues with waste receptacle management.

While most of these incidents have been resolved through municipal intervention, they suggest ongoing challenges with street maintenance in the vicinity. Two service-related incidents were recorded by the fire department, though neither involved actual fires or civilian injuries. The building's recent history shows regular upkeep and improvements up until 2009, with no major renovations or building permits recorded in the last 14 years, though this is not uncommon for older residential buildings to reach maintenance stabilization.
