Augrented Insights Report

The 13-unit multi-family residential building at 559-563 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Bingham Trust, has undergone significant improvements and faced various challenges over recent years. The property completed a $30,000 rear roof re-roofing project in September 2024 and a mandatory fire alarm upgrade in 2022 that included installing low-frequency horns in units and modernizing the fire alarm panel. Multiple unit renovations have been conducted between 2019-2024, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels in units 561B, 563A, 563C, and others, as well as a 2016 soft-story retrofit and 400-amp service upgrade.

In 2021, the building experienced a period of significant maintenance issues, with multiple Housing Inspection Services complaints filed regarding deteriorated drainage pipes, damaged ceilings/walls, windows, and heating systems. These violations were abated by May 2021. More recent concerns have included issues with self-closing doors and a leaking faucet in 2023, though these were resolved within one to two months.

The property has a documented history of fire safety-related incidents, including two violations in February 2024 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, though these were abated promptly. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including a notable 2020 incident involving inadequate ventilation and blocking of stairwells, the owner has generally addressed violations through permits and completed repairs. The most recent tenant buyout on record occurred in March 2020 for unit 563, with one tenant receiving $8,000.
