461 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 461 Cortland Ave in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Mauricio Lama. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and accessibility improvements over the past decade, including recent work completed in December 2023 to obtain final inspection clearance for repairs. Notable events include a 2019 installation of an automatic door opener for ADA compliance, and a 2018 incident where a vehicle struck the building's side, though structural integrity was maintained.

The building has had multiple maintenance issues addressed, including stucco and dry rot repairs in 2013 and roof tile concerns documented in 2010. The property has faced periodic challenges with exterior maintenance, particularly regarding paint condition and building envelope issues. A 2013 lead paint violation was documented and subsequently resolved, along with complaints about paint peeling and roof tiles in unsafe condition.

More recently, in 2023, there was a complaint about an open hole tripping hazard related to a former sign post, though this issue is marked as not active. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, including sidewalk repairs and concrete work completed in 2002. A pattern of exterior maintenance needs is evident, though most violations and complaints have been addressed and resolved through appropriate permitting and inspection processes. The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent months, primarily related to street cleaning and garbage concerns, though these are external to the building itself.
