182-186 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 182-186 Castro Street in Corona Heights, owned by Roderick Hong, has a long history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone regular maintenance and several significant upgrades over the years, with the most recent major work being completed in 2022 when the sewer lateral, floor drain, and garage drain were replaced. Notably, a photovoltaic system was installed on the roof in 2010.

The building has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly with wood elements requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple repairs for dry rot in 2007 affecting the garage and stairway areas, and a deck replacement project over the front garage in 2003. Window upgrades were completed in 1993 when 24 old wood double-hung windows were replaced on the building's south and front walls. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001, 2009, and 2010, during which various safety and maintenance issues were identified and subsequently resolved by November 2001.

These included requirements for fire extinguishers, self-closing doors, and gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were addressed according to records. Recent external issues include a sidewalk defect reported in 2022 (status: open/accepted) and a graffiti incident in November 2023 that has been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep with appropriate responses to identified issues, though the persistent nature of some structural and safety concerns in the past suggests ongoing attentiveness to building integrity and safety standards.
