Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 124-126 Ortega Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1967 and currently owned by Survivor's Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most notable recent work including repairs for dry rot at the front facade and stone replacement in 2019 ($8,000), and a complete re-roofing project in 2017 ($8,500). The building received substantial window upgrades in 2009, with the installation of 22 energy-efficient vinyl windows featuring double-pane construction and a U-factor of 0.30. Earlier improvements included the installation of vinyl siding on the left side of the residence in 2003 and various sidewalk-related permits.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity during 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on the sidewalk, though most resulted in either citations or being unable to locate the vehicles. Recent environmental maintenance concerns have centered around overgrown trees, with the Department of Public Works handling pruning requests in mid-2023, and a flooding incident was reported and resolved in late 2022. A street space permit was issued in January 2020, though the specific purpose was not detailed in the records. While the building's major systems and exterior features have received regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, the concentration of parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity suggests an ongoing challenge, though this is more reflective of street conditions than building management.

Risk rating

How 124-126 Ortega St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
