855 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 855 Castro Street, built in 1900 and currently owned by Chris Warfield, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some compliance issues in recent years. The property underwent substantial improvements in 2018-2019, including a major interior remodel of the 2nd floor unit (855A) costing $300,000 that included creating a 2BR/2BA configuration, kitchen remodel, and electrical upgrades.

During this period, multiple permit-related work was completed, including window replacement, deck legalization work, and siding replacement, with some unauthorized construction issues arising that required subsequent legalization efforts, particularly concerning a rear deck and associated modifications visible from Hill Street in 2019. The building underwent comprehensive systems upgrades, including new furnaces installation, plumbing improvements, and electrical rewiring work, all completed successfully. More recent maintenance included window replacement in 2022, and historical records show earlier updates from 2010 involving kitchen and bathroom renovations.

The property has maintained an active maintenance record with several permits showing ongoing investment in building upkeep, though there were notable compliance issues in 2019 regarding unauthorized construction that required formal legalization processes. The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows no major building violations, though there have been multiple reports of city garbage can overflow issues in early 2023, now resolved. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems and compliance with building codes, with the most recent significant improvements being the complete replacement of windows in 2022 and various system upgrades in 2019, indicating ongoing investment in property maintenance and improvements.
