126-128 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94103

Located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, 126-128 Shotwell Street is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Goorin Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2019, substantial improvements were completed to two units in the front building, including new kitchens and bathrooms, surface finish upgrades, and associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $75,000.

This renovation followed a series of permit violations and complaints in 2017-2018 regarding heating issues, with multiple violations recorded in February 2017 related to heating systems, water heaters, windows, walls, and fire safety equipment, all of which were officially abated by February 2019. The building's recent history includes several concerning tenant complaints from 2017, particularly regarding HVAC installation work being performed while tenants were present, resulting in debris and dust exposure concerns. A serious complaint was filed in November 2017 alleging thin walls compromising privacy and raising security concerns, though this report was marked as "Not Active" shortly after filing.

The property has also undergone various infrastructure updates, including furnace replacements, water heater installations, and electrical system improvements between 2017 and 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and system upgrades. Historical records show attempts to address accessibility concerns in 1998-1999, with multiple revisions to building plans regarding disabled access features, including a 1998 revision to provide accessible features to one unit and repair stairs. Designation as an M-1 district property led to conditional use permits in 2018-2019 to legalize additional dwelling units, indicating a complex regulatory history regarding unit density and permitted uses.
