Initial analysis

The property at 733 Shotwell Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by the Crane Family Trust and constructed in 1900 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2003 when foundation repairs and bay window modifications were attempted, along with street space and electrical work, though most of these permits ultimately expired. An earlier reroofing project was completed in 1989.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved exterior maintenance and urban infrastructure issues rather than internal building problems. In late 2024, there have been multiple reports regarding tree maintenance needs, including overgrown and damaged trees affecting the sidewalk. The area has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris on the street and sidewalks, though most of these cases have been resolved without requiring additional work. There have also been several parking-related incidents in the vicinity, including reports of vehicles blocking sidewalks. A notable fire safety incident occurred in April 2021 when a violation was issued for improper storage of combustibles, though this was subsequently abated. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and repairs, though some completed work, such as foundation repairs and bay window removal, appears to have been done under expired permits.

Risk rating

How 733 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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