850-856 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 850-856 Shotwell Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Floriana Petersen and built in 1900. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the years, with the most recent work including the installation of a gas fireplace in late 2020 and associated gas line work in early 2021. The building's history reveals some concerning maintenance issues, particularly in 2005-2008 when multiple building violations were documented, including problems with stairs, handrails, electrical systems, and walls, though all these violations were ultimately abated by July 2008.

More recent complaints from 2020 raised concerns about unpermitted construction work and compliance with social distancing measures during the pandemic, particularly involving steel patio structures and wood construction, though these complaints are now marked as not active. The property has seen multiple significant improvement projects, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2009 (valued at $30,000), bathroom relocations, and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. Historical records show earlier maintenance work was required on rear stairs in 2006, though permits for this work expired.

The building has also experienced issues with residential safety systems, including a 2020 tenant buyout involving three tenants for $14,450. While the property has required various repairs and improvements over the years, recent permits and improvements suggest ongoing maintenance, though potential concerns about unpermitted work and construction practices were noted in 2020. The most recent permit activity as of 2023 appears limited to minor infrastructure matters, such as utility modifications.
