121-125 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-story multi-family residential building at 121-125 Shotwell Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 6-unit structure, built in 1900, currently owned by Samuel & Carrillo Barrocas. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $24,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Other building improvements include the installation of handrails on exterior staircases in 2013, electrical repairs in the basement storage area in 2005, and plumbing upgrades including new gas lines and a water heater installation in 2012.

The building's history includes several maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed over time. In 2005, multiple violations were recorded regarding building safety, including stair repairs and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were resolved by 2013. Earlier complaints from 2000-2004 noted problems with roof leaks, mold, and possible illegal basement units, though these issues were subsequently addressed.

Most recently, there have been several reported parking enforcement issues regarding driveway blocking, as well as one 311 call about a damaged tree and another regarding liquid spills in September 2024. While these recent incidents suggest ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, they primarily relate to public space concerns rather than building safety or habitability issues. The building is classified as Tier 4 for soft-story compliance, with all required work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.
