42-44 Lower Ter, San Francisco, CA 94114

The four-story multi-family residential building at 42-44 Lower Terrace in Corona Heights, owned by Das Dev Kumar & Yeo Hwee Me, was constructed in 1967 and consists of two units. The property underwent significant renovations between 2017 and 2018, including comprehensive remodeling of both units, installation of a new roof deck, and extensive safety improvements. The upper unit renovation on the second floor focused on kitchen and bathroom upgrades, while the lower unit remodeling included converting crawl space to habitable space and relocating various rooms.

A major safety upgrade included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with dedicated monitoring, completed in 2018 at a cost of $27,500, along with new plumbing systems throughout both units, radiant heat systems, and electrical rewiring with new sub-panels. The renovation period was not without challenges, as evidenced by two building complaints in 2018 regarding construction noise and leaving doors open during work. However, the property has since maintained compliance with safety and housing standards.

Recent maintenance issues appear to be primarily external and unrelated to building structure, including reports of graffiti (September 2023) and various parking enforcement matters, including abandoned vehicles (March 2023) and illegal parking (July 2023). The building's recent history shows no active building code violations or safety concerns, though there was one tenant buyout recorded in April 2017 for $35,000. The property underwent substantial infrastructure upgrades during the 2017-2018 period, including new gas piping, sewer systems, and window replacements, demonstrating a significant investment in improving both units' safety and comfort.
