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 772-774 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

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.

15+ years since occupancy
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 772-774 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, owned by John Robinson Guilliams III, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in 2015, the building underwent stair repairs to address dry rot issues on the front stairs, costing $6,000, following a violation notice that identified multiple safety concerns including the need for handrails, fire extinguishers, and stair repairs. The rear stairway has received multiple repairs and replacements, with significant work completed in 2012 costing $11,000.

The property has undergone various electrical and utility improvements, including a 200-amp main service installation with five meter sockets in 2004, water heater and electrical work in 2022, and kitchen remodels in 2006-2008. Building inspections over the years (1999, 2009, 2010, and 2015) have revealed multiple compliance issues that were generally addressed, including structural maintenance requirements and fire safety concerns. The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety and code compliance, with most violations being resolved, such as the 2010 and 2015 routine inspection issues which were abated by June 2012. More recently, there have been two noise-related complaints, one in 2020 (closed) and a more recent one in 2024 (open).

Risk rating

How 772-774 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1119 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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