466-468 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 466-468 Castro Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, owned by the Michael Glenn Verdone Trust. Built in 1900, this three-unit building has undergone significant changes, particularly regarding its ground-floor retail space which transitioned from specialty grocery to full-service restaurant in late 2016 with an initial permit cost of $75,000. The most recent work, completed in August 2023, involved sound mitigation improvements.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and permit activity, including a 2003 exterior deck and stairs replacement, various plumbing upgrades including an ADA bathroom installation, and multiple electrical improvements. The property experienced notable issues in the early 2000s, with multiple building violations filed in 2000-2002 related to interior surfaces, including damaged walls, ceilings, floors, and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by August 2002. More recent complaints include a 2021 report of unpermitted remodeling and a 2019 complaint about after-hours construction noise.

The building underwent substantial improvements to its commercial space between 2016-2019, including fire suppression system installation and electrical work. Recent activity shows consistent attention to soundproofing and building maintenance. While there have been several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris, these are primarily related to street cleaning issues rather than building maintenance concerns.
