1421-1425 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1421-1425 Castro Street in Noe Valley, owned by Solway-alperstein 2001 Trust, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1908. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns relating to structural elements and fire safety. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a reported missing side sewer vent cover, currently listed as an open issue.

The building has undergone multiple repairs to its exterior wooden stairways, with work completed in 2012 to address rotted members in the rear stair structure, following a 2001 complaint regarding handrail repairs. There was a concerning pattern of fire safety violations identified in both 2001 and 2012, including issues with combustible storage, fire proofing repairs, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were subsequently abated. The property has also experienced plumbing and sewer-related issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests in December 2014 regarding sewage backups and water leaks that were resolved.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to preservation, with various permits and repairs completed throughout the years, including significant work in the early 1990s to address water damage and replace rotted boards. While most historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the recent sewer vent cover issue in 2024 indicates that some maintenance challenges persist. The property has undergone regular routine inspections, including a 2007 housing inspection, and most recent infrastructure concerns appear to be limited to exterior elements, such as the missing sewer vent cover and previous street lighting issues in 2020.
