738 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 738 Castro Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1895 and is currently owned by Christine Walther Tripp. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a horizontal addition completed in 1998 and a major renovation in 1996 that involved foundation work, bathroom relocation, and kitchen remodeling.

Historical records also show window upgrades in 1984, when double-glazed windows were installed in the front of the building. Recent maintenance and safety issues have primarily involved outdoor elements, with the most pressing concerns being repeated sidewalk problems. There were two documented instances of sidewalk defects in 2023 and 2020, with the latter specifically noting damage from tree roots.

The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewer issue in 2008 involving water discharge. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, though most have been routine street maintenance matters such as holiday tree removal and parking violations, rather than serious building-related problems. The sidewalk defects and sewer issues, while concerning, appear to be the only significant infrastructure-related incidents on record, and both were addressed through normal city channels.
