161 Lower Ter, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 161 Lower Terrace, a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Sandra Elaine Owens Farrow, has experienced several notable maintenance and infrastructure issues over its history. Two significant tree-related concerns have emerged in recent years, with ongoing reports of sidewalk damage from tree roots in both 2023 (opened) and 2022 (accepted).

The building has undergone some structural maintenance, including a reroofing project in 2000 (cost: $3,500) and fungus repairs to the front bay in 1993. A fire-related complaint was filed in September 2020, though records indicate conditions were corrected by November of that year. The property's immediate vicinity has faced various environmental challenges in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of street and sidewalk cleanliness issues, including garbage, debris, and even human waste, though most of these cases have been resolved promptly.

A notable incident involving a fallen tree was reported in December 2024 and remains open. In terms of regulatory compliance, there was a recorded case of illegal short-term vacation rental activity at the property (involving both 161 and 163 Lower Terrace) which has been marked as closed/abated, and a damaged side sewer vent cover was addressed and resolved in 2021. While the building's age and history suggest typical maintenance requirements for its type and age, the frequency of recent environmental maintenance calls in the immediate area may be of interest to potential residents.
