701 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 701 Shotwell Street is a 3-story, two-unit residential building located in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1880 and currently owned by Barney P & Carolina C Popli. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work being completed in 2022 when scaffolding complaints were filed. Two active complaints from October 2022, still under the scrutiny of the Code Enforcement Section, reported abandoned scaffolding that had been in place for approximately one year, becoming a safety hazard and nuisance.

Historically, the building has received attention to basic maintenance needs, including a complete reroofing project in 2015 (cost: $7,400), a gas fireplace installation in 2013, and repairs to the front stairs in 1999. A major horizontal extension and new stair construction project was completed in 1986, and there are records of roofing work in 2001 that expired without completion. Recent activity around the property has been concentrated on infrastructure and exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls recorded between December 2024 and January 2025.

These calls primarily concerned garbage and debris issues, sidewalk blockages, and tree maintenance needs, including four reports of fallen trees in December 2024. While these environmental matters are external to the building's structure, they may influence resident quality of life. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance work being performed, though the unresolved scaffolding situation from 2022 presents an ongoing concern. The property's most recent building inspection records are notably dated, with the last major confirmed improvement being the 2015 reroofing project, which represents approximately eight years since the last significant building envelope maintenance was performed.
