380 Richland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 380 Richland Ave in Bernal Heights is a two-dwelling residential building owned by Hipolito and Felicitas Ortega, with no officially recorded residential units as of the latest data. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including window replacements (2017), reroofing (2014, 2006), and bathroom renovations (2007). A noteworthy maintenance issue was addressed in 2019 with the replacement of an outside house trap.

The property has a concerning history of unpermitted modifications, with complaints filed in 2004 and 2007 regarding illegal units in the basement and rear of the house, though these violations were officially abated. Recent records (2021-2024) indicate ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with the sewer system, as evidenced by multiple sewage backup incidents in 2022 and 2024, and a catch basin maintenance issue in 2022. There was also a documented lack of heating in the building in May 2022 that required intervention.

The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, including graffiti in 2022 (though enforcement was affected by COVID-19), and there are recent street-related concerns including a curb issue and an unpermitted dumpster removal in November 2024. A notable historical incident occurred in 2008 when the property was temporarily classified as an open and vacant building, though this condition was promptly corrected within two months. A planning investigation revealed that the property had five dwelling units at one point, exceeding its legal two-unit classification, though there is no recent confirmation of the current unit count.
