85 Valmar Ter, San Francisco, CA 94134

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 85 Valmar Terrace in the Excelsior neighborhood, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by the Wilson Chiem Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, the building received a substantial $23,000 reroofing project in 2021, which involved complete replacement of the existing roof covering with laminate shingles. The property has seen multiple interior improvements, including a bathroom remodel on the first floor in 2011 ($9,000), renovation of kitchen and bathroom floors, sink replacement, and addressing dry rot in the rear deck in 2003 ($2,500).

A significant event in the building's history occurred in 1992 when work was completed to revert the property to its proper two-dwelling unit configuration, following an expired permit from 1990 that proposed similar alterations. The building's recent history (2025) has been marked by various maintenance and environmental issues, particularly concerning waste management, with multiple reports of garbage and debris incidents, including abandoned furniture and a mattress. There are several open cases as of January 2025 regarding tree maintenance and issues with garbage receptacle placement.

The property has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, including a smoke removal event and a gas leak, both fortunately resulting in no civilian injuries. Additionally, there have been recent tenant buyout activities in the vicinity, with one unit on Avalon Avenue reportedly receiving a $50,000 buyout offer in September 2023, though no such action has been documented for this property. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization attempts, though the persistence of recent waste management issues suggests ongoing challenges in this area.
