880-890 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 880-890 Shotwell Street, owned by Galu Realty LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1900. In late 2018, the property faced multiple housing code violations that were subsequently addressed and abated by October 2019, including repairs to windows, drainage systems, water heaters, and various general maintenance issues.

The building has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades in recent years, with electrical service improvements to 200 amps and comprehensive heating system updates, including the installation of new water heaters and wall heaters throughout the building in 2019. Historical maintenance records reveal ongoing concerns with the building's exterior and safety features, including repairs to exterior stairs due to dry rot in 2009 and various handrail improvements in compliance with housing violation requirements. Earlier issues from 2003 and 2006 involved stairway repairs and landing/flooring improvements.

The building has experienced two fire incidents in its history: a water or steam leak and an unintentional building fire, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent activity around the property includes multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street, along with tree maintenance issues, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. The most recent building permits and violations indicate that most major safety concerns have been addressed, but the age of the building continues to necessitate regular maintenance and improvements to meet current housing standards.
