357 Upper Ter, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 357 Upper Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, owned by John O'Connor and Bridget O'Kee, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, the building received a $14,000 reroofing project, completing a series of maintenance and upgrading efforts that included the 2012 installation of 26 energy-efficient vinyl windows and a 2010 renovation of siding, windows, and carport concrete waterproofing.

A major compliance issue arose in 2003 when multiple violations were filed regarding stair repairs, fire safety, and interior surfaces, which were subsequently addressed and abated by December 2008, following various repair works including front entrance stair repairs in 2005 and wood landing repairs in 2008. In 1995, the building replaced wooden stairs with concrete precast steps, indicating ongoing stair maintenance has been a recurring theme.

More recently, there has been a notable pattern of sanitation-related issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2024 and 2025 regarding toter management and litter receptacle maintenance, suggesting an ongoing challenge with waste management compliance. The property has maintained its status as a multi-family residential building, with proper CEQA clearance for its 5-unit configuration and associated parking originally documented in planning records. While most historical violations have been resolved, the presence of recent toter management issues indicates some continued challenges with property maintenance protocols, though these primarily relate to street-level operations rather than building integrity or safety.
