1115 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1115 Castro Street in Noe Valley, owned by Thomas and Sally Ford, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, with particular attention to maintenance and upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the property has had two termite remediation projects (2017 and 2018), and major infrastructure upgrades including a new sewer line installation in 2013, a water service meter upgrade in 2009, and the installation of 11 roof-mounted solar panels in 2008.

The building's seismic safety was addressed in 1999 with the installation of fire shear walls and anchor bolts at the garage level, and other structural improvements include the installation of a 32-foot steel beam in 2002 and substantial rot repairs and stair replacement in 2003. More recent activity at the property includes a complaint in March 2022 regarding weekend construction noise, though this was quickly addressed within one day. The building has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, particularly between late 2022 and 2024, with multiple parking enforcement calls regarding blocked driveways.

These incidents were generally resolved through citations or warning notices, though there were some instances where vehicles could not be located for enforcement. In 2021, there was a resolved issue with a lifted sidewalk section, which required follow-up inspection and permit application. The property has maintained a generally responsible approach to infrastructure maintenance, as evidenced by the completion of numerous building permits over the years, focusing on both preventive maintenance (such as termite remediation) and modernization (including solar panel installation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure).
