118-120 Ortega St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit residential building at 118-120 Ortega Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Brenda Lam Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1966 construction. The property underwent substantial renovation in 2004, including kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom upgrades, and basement modifications to add a media room, bedroom, and bathroom, along with a spiral staircase, with a total project cost of $50,000.

This was followed by termite damage and dry rot repairs to wood balconies and stairs in 2014, demonstrating ongoing maintenance attention. Most notably, in 2016, the building received sustainable upgrades with the installation of a solar PV system comprising 25 roof-mounted modules (totaling 6.295 kW), along with associated electrical system upgrades, reflecting a commitment to renewable energy. The building underwent a physical inspection in 2008 (Report #3R-4730) that resulted in required compliance work, which was completed along with necessary plumbing and electrical re-inspections.

A condo conversion application was submitted and approved, indicating potential changes to the property's ownership structure. Recent activity includes two Christmas tree removal requests in January 2022 (both resolved), and a parking enforcement call regarding a blocked driveway in June 2024 that was dismissed due to incomplete reporting information. The building's permit and inspection history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading, with particular attention to structural integrity and modernization, including the significant solar installation in 2016.
