975 Esmeralda Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 975 Esmeralda Ave in Bernal Heights, owned by William R Vierra Jr Bypass, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several notable improvements over recent years. Most significantly, in 2017, the property underwent substantial window-related work, including the replacement of four street-facing windows, with permits showing costs of $10,000 and $18,564 for both window replacement and associated stucco repair work.

The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with an active complaint filed in July 2021 regarding peeling exterior wall paint, weather-proofing issues on siding, and potential lead paint concerns. Historical records show earlier violations from 2002 regarding fire safety concerns (including smoke detector and enclosure door issues) and garbage receptacle placement, though these were marked as not active by the time of their August 2021 inspection.

Recent infrastructure updates include electrical work in 2003-2008 related to PG&E service and underground pipes installation, though the 2003 permit expired. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to sidewalk parking violations and a sewage backup discharge issue that remains open as of November 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2002, 2008, and 2011, suggesting periodic oversight of building conditions, while recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that require attention.
