41 Peralta Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit residential building at 41 Peralta Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by William & Dahlia Wright, has undergone numerous significant renovations and faced several challenges since its construction in 1900. The property completed major improvements in 2019-2020, including foundation work at 41A, plumbing upgrades with a new tankless water heater, and electrical corrections, with building safety concerns addressed through completed permits for stair repairs and railing code compliance in 2021 at a cost of $15,000.

A substantial 2015 renovation project valued at $140,000 added new decks and dormers, though this work was later subject to multiple revisions due to various issues. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including multiple instances of water damage and structural issues, with records of dry rot repairs in 2019 and significant staircase repairs in 2021.

A cluster of complaints in March 2018 raised serious habitability concerns about unit 41A, citing unauthorized excavation work and major renovation work conducted without proper permits, leading to multiple violations that were eventually abated between 2014-2015. The building's systems have been extensively updated over the years, including complete electrical system legalization in 2011-2014, water heater installations, and HVAC system updates in 2019. Recent building inspection records show ongoing attention to maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns in 2024 regarding sidewalk access and exterior maintenance, though these appear to be unrelated to the building's structural or systems integrity.
