Initial analysis

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 While many of the historical issues have been resolved or are no longer active, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance and infrastructure challenges, particularly related to waste management and plumbing systems, that have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.

Risk rating

How 705 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.

Neighborhood percentile
77th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 547 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.8%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
