764 Shotwell St

Inner Mission, SF 94110 3614038A 3 units · 3 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 764 Shotwell St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 764 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Salvador Ortega Trust, is a Class B Flats & Duplex structure built in 1900. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including a major window replacement project in 2010 where ten windows were installed with an improved U-factor of 0.40, and the installation of a new forced air gas furnace system with ducts and registers in 2018. Earlier modifications included a horizontal addition completed in 1987, though records indicate an exterior stair repair permit from 1987 had expired. The building's window improvements date back to 1984 when aluminum windows were installed.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned mattresses and garbage along the street. Historical complaints from 2021-2022 also noted problems with overflowing city garbage cans and human/animal waste on adjacent sidewalks. While these exterior maintenance issues don't necessarily reflect on the building's internal conditions, they may impact the immediate neighborhood environment. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, particularly focusing on energy efficiency improvements like window replacements and heating system upgrades, though some permits from the 1980s indicate past maintenance needs such as stair repairs.

Risk rating

How 764 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
52ndpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1142 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
