Augrented Insights Report

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located at 672-676 Castro Street, built in 1900 and owned by Brendan Smith, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. As of September 2024, major internal upgrades are underway or have been completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (costing over $220,000 collectively), new electrical work (10 outlet installations and kitchen circuits), and roof replacement costing $37,800.

The building has also seen substantial infrastructure improvements, with a complete electrical service upgrade to 400 amps in 2019, new furnaces installed in 2019-2024, and comprehensive plumbing work completed between 2021-2024 including sewer replacements and gas line installations. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in the past, particularly regarding plumbing systems, with multiple tenant complaints about leaks between 2020-2021, and unauthorized gas line work in 2022 that prompted several complaints. Building violations in 2017-2018 included heating system deficiencies and various safety requirements, though these were subsequently abated.

Tenant buyouts occurred in June 2017 for multiple units, with amounts ranging from $65,000 to $81,435.08. Recent 311 calls indicate typical urban issues including parking concerns and garbage violations, while the only recorded fire incident was a malfunctioning smoke detector with no injuries. The building's permit history suggests ongoing investment in unit modernization and maintenance, with particular focus on addressing previous deficiencies and upgrading building systems.
