1150 Castro St

The two-unit residential building at 1150 Castro Street in Noe Valley, owned by Richard A. and Elisabeth Collins, has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a substantial fire incident in December 2022 that rendered both units uninhabitable and caused damage to the internal staircase and garage doors. This fire triggered an active building violation that appears to remain unresolved, requiring monthly monitoring fees. As of October 2023, reconstruction work costing $140,000 is underway to address the fire damage. The building's maintenance history includes various repairs and improvements, such as termite treatment in 2008, window replacement in 2000, and garage foundation work in 1994. More recently, electrical rewiring and upgrades were permitted in July 2024, though there were complaints about unpermitted construction work at the property in July 2024. The building's property management has faced multiple maintenance and compliance issues since the fire, including two complaints about construction work without proper permits and concerns about building security and window maintenance. Three service requests related to general maintenance, including sewer services, street cleaning, and graffiti removal, have been logged through 311 calls in 2024, though these are municipal infrastructure issues rather than direct building concerns. The property's fire safety systems have experienced two non-fire related activations, though neither incident resulted in civilian injuries.
