1715 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1715 Castro Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Nancy J Taylor Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1965. Most recently, in 2022, Unit #2 received substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, supported by both building and plumbing permits ($26,000) and electrical upgrades such as new circuits and a breaker panel. The building's seismic safety was addressed in 2010 with voluntary brace modifications at the garage and basement levels.

Historical records show multiple improvements throughout the building's life, including a complete reroofing in 1999, facade renovation in 1998, and bathroom installations. A notable compliance effort occurred in 1995 when an illegal unit was removed and the original configuration restored, following a 1994 complaint. The property has undergone regular oversight through routine housing inspections in 2000 and 2009, though there was one fire-related violation in 2000 regarding a smoke enclosure door that was promptly resolved.

More recent concerns (2023-2024) have primarily involved external issues such as sidewalk encroachments, parking violations, and maintenance matters, with several cases related to shared space structures and illegal parking being addressed by various city agencies. A 2022 complaint regarding a demo/remodel of Unit 2 was filed but remains active. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though the 2024 reports of sidewalk blockage by privately maintained vegetation indicates some ongoing exterior maintenance considerations.
