528 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 528 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Kostas Eleftheriadis, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues since its construction in 1964. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $76,000 to comply with seismic safety requirements, along with associated electrical work for Ufer ground installation, demonstrating adherence to important structural safety standards.

However, as of 2023, the property is facing multiple *active violations* related to building safety and compliance, including issues with fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher compliance, gas utility shutoff tools, and required compliance affidavits. These violations were documented through a common areas inspection in March 2023 and received final warning letters in April 2023. The building's history includes various maintenance and safety concerns, such as a 2010 complaint about lack of heat throughout the building, multiple complaints about interior conditions in 2012 (including front door functionality and kitchen issues), and several concerning safety violations from 2008-2010 involving unauthorized construction, stairwell hazards, and heating systems.

The property has also demonstrated investment in maintenance, including a completed reroofing project in 1999 and a code compliance improvement project in 1986. Recent external maintenance issues have been documented through numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding graffiti, debris, and tree-related concerns, indicating ongoing challenges with building upkeep and environmental maintenance in the surrounding area. The building's fire safety record shows one incident of smoke detector activation with no fire or injuries reported.
