705 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 705 Shotwell Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Guadalupe Rosillo. The building has a significant history of housing violations and maintenance issues, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when it faced multiple complaints regarding illegal use as a residential hotel, with reports of overcrowding and inadequate facilities.

Between 1997-1998, there were serious concerns about tenant safety and habitability, including reports of 19 people living in a 2-bedroom unit with inadequate bathroom facilities, as well as pest infestations and plumbing issues in 1996. More recent building improvement attempts were documented in the early 2000s, including work on plaster walls, sheetrock installation, and window replacement, though some permits from this period eventually expired or were cancelled. The property has experienced recurring infrastructure issues, particularly with its sewer system, with three documented sewer backup incidents between 2018 and most recently in January 2024.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris issues on the property or nearby. The most recent complaints, all from 2024, were primarily related to waste management, including reports of electronics and other garbage improperly disposed of near the property. While many of the historical issues have been resolved or are no longer active, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance and infrastructure challenges, particularly related to waste management and plumbing systems, that have persisted over decades.
