177 Crown Ter, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 10-unit, 3-story apartment building at 177 Crown Terrace, owned by Anne Wong and constructed in 1951, has undergone numerous maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with significant attention to structural integrity and resident safety. Most recently, in 2023, the building addressed multiple violations from January 2023 related to safety and maintenance issues, including fire safety requirements, window repairs, and roof deck maintenance, all of which were abated by September 2023.

The building completed mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2016, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include balcony safety enhancements in 2023 (adding mesh netting to exterior railings) and reroofing work. The property has a history of addressing dry rot issues in various units and performing substantial upgrades to unit #1, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements in 2015.

The building's fire safety systems have been regularly maintained, with multiple fire alarm system activations recorded (typically due to malfunction rather than actual fires) and occasional fire extinguisher inspections. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including balcony repairs and plumbing work in multiple units, these have generally been addressed through proper permits and inspections. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including a 400amp electrical service upgrade in 2015 and the legalization of unit #10's kitchen in 2013, demonstrating ongoing investment in building infrastructure and resident safety.
