Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 700 Shotwell St in the Inner Mission was built in 1963 and is currently owned by Charles A. and Susan B. Eckberg. The property has undergone several significant inspections and faced multiple violations, particularly in 2015 when Housing Inspection Services identified numerous fire safety issues, including problems with fire escape storage, fire proofing materials, smoke enclosure doors, exit hallway obstructions, and combustible materials in the garage. These violations, along with others from a 2003 inspection, were eventually abated, with most cases being resolved between late 2015 and early 2016. A plumbing permit for sewer repairs was completed in 2013, and a street space permit was issued in 2007.

The building has been subject to regular routine inspections, with records showing consistent oversight by Housing Inspection Services from 2003 through 2015. A single fire complaint from 2017 was determined to have no merit. More recently, the property has experienced several street-level issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between October 2024 and January 2025, primarily related to garbage and debris, illegal parking, and street maintenance matters. While these recent incidents occurred outside the building proper, they indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate neighborhood. The most recent encampment-related service request was filed in January 2025, and there are currently some open cases from December 2024 regarding defaced parking signs and other neighborhood issues.

Risk rating

How 700 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 595 are predicted to be safer.
