253-255 Ortega St, San Francisco, CA 94116

The two-unit residential building at 253-255 Ortega Street, located in Golden Gate Heights, is a two-story duplex constructed in 1947 and currently owned by Akira Nakatani Trustee. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent being a $10,000 reroofing project completed in 2018.

Prior renovations include substantial kitchen upgrades in 2011 at 253 Ortega, involving cabinet replacements, plumbing installations for new kitchen fixtures, and electrical work, as well as stucco and sheathing repairs near the garage doors. The building's infrastructure has been maintained, with a notable 2003 upgrade from 200a overhead to underground electrical service, and historical records indicate previous repair work for dry rot damage in 1997 and another roofing project in 1993. Recent activity at the property has included several maintenance-related 311 calls, with the most concerning being a July 2024 complaint about inadequately maintained exterior building conditions.

Other recent issues have primarily involved street-related matters, including a blocked sidewalk in November 2024 that was investigated with no condition found, and various service requests to Recology and DPW for general cleaning and abandoned vehicle removal in the vicinity. There have also been two documented instances of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement intervention in 2021 and 2022. While the building appears to have received regular maintenance over the years, the recent exterior maintenance complaint in 2024 suggests potential ongoing maintenance needs.
