708 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 708 Castro Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing three units and currently owned by Brian C Burr. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent substantial work including the installation of three gas fireplaces in May 2024, followed by gas line installations in June 2024. Major improvements in 2022 included the installation of a new Mitsubishi heat pump system and an electrical service upgrade to 200 amps.

The building underwent considerable structural work in 2020-2021, including a foundation replacement, crawl space conversion, and garage modifications, with associated plumbing updates including sewer lateral replacement and bathroom renovations. Historical records show earlier improvements such as bathroom remodeling in 2005, roof replacements in 1995 and 2020, and garage construction in 1986. The property has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly with the sidewalk, with multiple reports of defects between 2020-2023, including lifted sections possibly caused by tree roots.

The building's safety systems were tested by two fire-related incidents: a carbon monoxide incident and an unintentional alarm activation, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Since 2020, there have been several 311 calls related to street cleaning, sidewalk defects, and waste removal, though most of these issues have been resolved. A significant administrative permit was issued in 2010 to document the building as a "single family dwelling," despite its current classification as multi-family. The most recent completed permits indicate ongoing improvements to both the building's interior and exterior systems, demonstrating active maintenance and upgrading of the property.
