620-622 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 620-622 Castro Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Kay E Hefferlin and located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements recently, including the replacement of two water heaters (40 to 66 gallon conversion) in November 2023, with corresponding electrical work completed in March 2024.

A substantial re-roofing project is currently in progress, with a $20,000 permit issued in April 2024, following an earlier cancelled roofing permit from February 2024 that was valued at $26,000. The building has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including electrical upgrades (2003), previous roofing work (1989), and concerning historical repairs such as fungus damage remediation in 1997.

Recent environmental concerns have emerged, with multiple urban maintenance issues reported in 2024, including three encampment reports in September 2024, tree-related concerns (lifted sidewalk roots and overgrown trees) in May 2024, and a general cleaning request in May 2024. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with several complaints about driveway blocking, though in most cases, officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles, except for one citation issued in July 2024. While the building's recent upgrades indicate active maintenance and improvements by the owner, the surrounding area has faced some urban maintenance challenges as evidenced by the recent 311 calls.
