Initial analysis

The property at 306 Shotwell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Christian Haudenschild. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2019-2020 involving a lightwell addition at the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the creation of a new play den with bathroom and lighting improvements throughout. Previous substantial improvements include a 2016 horizontal addition with rear deck modifications, and comprehensive remodels of both upper and lower units' kitchens and bathrooms in 2010-2011, including electrical upgrades with the installation of a new 200-amp service and solar panels.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, with violations documented in 2013, 2018, and 2021, though these have all been marked as corrected or resolved. The property currently faces some maintenance challenges as indicated by multiple 311 calls in recent months (December 2024 - January 2025), including reports of graffiti, garbage, and debris on and around the property, some of which are still open cases. While there have been no fire incidents causing injuries or significant damage, the building's historical maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements to various systems including plumbing (with recent work on bathrooms and a tankless system in 2019) and electrical (including EV charger installation in 2011).

Risk rating

How 306 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
87th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 309 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.9%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
