1224-1226 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-unit residential building at 1224-1226 Castro Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1933 and currently owned by Grinfelds Investments LP, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past few decades. The most recent major work was completed in 2019 when all four water heaters were relocated. The property has seen consistent roofing maintenance, with work performed in 2014 (costing $7,200) and previously in 1994.

A substantial foundation replacement project estimated at $40,000 was proposed in 2004 but was ultimately cancelled. Other historical improvements include rear stairs reconstruction in 1987 and interior repairs in 1994 addressing electrical, plumbing, and bathroom issues. The building has experienced some fire safety incidents, with two smoke detector activations recorded in January and February of 2015, though no actual fires occurred and no injuries were reported.

There were also two fire alarm system complaints in early 2015, both of which were resolved. More recently, there has been a persistent pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking and sidewalk parking from March to December 2023, including several incidents where enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Additional maintenance concerns include an open request from July 2023 regarding an overgrown tree. The building's location has experienced typical urban neighborhood challenges, as evidenced by recent 311 calls for street cleaning and a resolved encampment situation in 2023-2024.
