230 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 230 Castro Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, owned by the Gee Family Trust and constructed in 1937. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past two decades, including the installation of vinyl siding on multiple occasions (2010 and 2006), a complete reroofing in 2007, and the installation of a new steam boiler in 2015.

In 2014, the building experienced notable maintenance issues, with multiple units affected by mold problems requiring bathroom remediation, and some units undergoing shower valve and electrical fixture updates. The property underwent a major systems upgrade in recent years, including an electrical service upgrade to 200A in 2019 and plumbing work involving the repair of house trap riser in 2020. The building has a documented history of compliance issues, particularly in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety, electrical systems, and building maintenance, though all were abated by June 2003.

More recently, in 2016, there was a gas leak incident that resulted in no civilian injuries, and the most recent fire alarm system issue in 2016 was promptly corrected. The property has also seen some external maintenance challenges, with reports of sidewalk damage and tree root issues in 2020-2021, and there were several abandoned vehicle and parking-related complaints in the surrounding area between 2021-2024. The most recent building concerns have been primarily related to exterior maintenance issues rather than internal habitability problems, with the last significant building complaint being resolved in 2014.
