1210 Ortega St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1210 Ortega Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood has a documented history spanning several decades, with the most pressing concerns occurring in recent years. Built in 1944, the property has undergone some maintenance work, including a reroofing project in 2014 costing $9,500, and previously addressed dry rot issues at the front of the building in 1986.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2017 and 2021, particularly in 2021 when violations were issued for smoke detector problems, standpipe issues, and alarm system maintenance deficiencies, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has faced several infrastructure challenges in recent months, including a sewage backup from the side sewer vent in November 2024, and multiple pavement defects reported in late 2024 that remain open cases.

Various public service calls between August and September 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and infrastructure issues in the vicinity, including problems with street lighting, traffic signals, and sidewalk cleanliness. The building's property management has generally addressed violations and maintenance issues when brought to attention, as evidenced by the "Closed Case Resolved" status on many recent 311 calls and the abatement of fire violations. Historical tenant buyouts in the neighborhood include one for four tenants at 1226 Ortega Street in 2018 for $31,849, and another for two tenants at 1212 Ortega Street in 2021 for $22,400, though these are for different properties on the same street.
