142 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 142 Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights is a 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Mancuso Dody M 1996 Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements and expansion over the past several years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2016 and 2019.

This included the successful addition of a new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in 2016-2018, installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system (2018-2019), and construction of a vertical second-floor addition containing three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room (2017-2019). The project also involved infrastructure updates such as new bike parking amenities, electrical systems, and heating equipment, with all major work properly permitted and completed. Historically, the building had some plumbing issues in the mid-1990s, including two complaints about sewage problems affecting the sidewalk in 1996, though these were resolved by 2012.

More recent concerns have been primarily related to construction activity during 2020, with two complaints filed about potentially exceeding the approved scope of work, though these complaints were marked as not active. The property has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, including a new roof in 2007, and most recent utility interactions have been routine, such as water service requests and parking-related calls. The building now meets modern safety standards with the installation of fire safety systems, and recent permits have focused on general maintenance rather than any major structural changes.
