Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 62-66 Shotwell Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by David R. Johnson and constructed in 1906. The property experienced significant electrical and safety issues in 2018, including multiple complaints regarding electrical systems, melted equipment, incomplete electrical work, and safety violations that required correction, such as providing fire extinguisher tags, posting gas meter instructions, and ensuring proper smoke detector installation. These issues were addressed through several permits, including electrical rewiring, subpanel installation, and meter socket replacement, with the final electrical work completed in 2022 to resolve the remaining permit issue from 2018.

More recent history of the property shows regular maintenance and compliance with safety requirements following the 2018 violations, though there have been ongoing concerns in the surrounding area as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2023-2025 regarding sidewalk cleanliness, garbage debris, and parking enforcement. The building's external environment has required attention to issues such as sidewalk parking and debris management, with multiple cases being resolved by city services. Additionally, there was one recorded incident involving a carbon monoxide detector activation due to malfunction, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property appears to have stabilized since the 2018 electrical and safety violations were addressed, with no significant building code violations or safety concerns recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 62-66 Shotwell St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
