770 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

770 Shotwell Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Aviva Kanoff. The property is undergoing significant renovations as evidenced by multiple permits issued in November 2024, including a comprehensive remodeling project of the first-floor unit that entails adding a bedroom and bathroom, updating the kitchen, relocating an existing bathroom, and performing electrical upgrades including complete rewiring and solar panel installation. These improvements also include the installation of a mini-split heat pump system with three handlers, demonstrating the owner’s commitment to modernizing the building’s infrastructure.

The building's recent history has seen increased activity, particularly in 2024, with several building permits issued for substantial improvements totaling approximately $200,000. However, there have been some tenant concerns regarding construction noise, with complaints filed through the city's 311 system in November 2024 about unauthorized construction work, though this complaint status is currently listed as not active. The property has maintained regular housing inspections between 1999 and 2011, all of which were routine and completed without noted issues.

Parking enforcement has been a recurring concern around the property, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, and there was one instance of sidewalk parking in 2020, all of which were resolved through official citations. The building's older permits from the late 1980s include a complete reroofing project (1988) and a cancelled permit for curb modification (1987), suggesting historical attention to maintenance and compliance with city standards. Recent improvements, including the installation of a solar PV system in 2022, indicate ongoing efforts to upgrade the building's infrastructure and energy efficiency.
