862 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 862 Shotwell Street, owned by the Meyers Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent significant concern being a heating system failure in December 2021 that required intervention to meet minimum temperature requirements. In early 2024, there have been multiple reports of water-related issues including flooding and leaks, as well as ongoing parking violations.

The building underwent several substantial repairs and improvements in the early 2000s, including stair repairs, roof work, hallway improvements, and addressing various building code violations. Notable historical complaints include problems with the fire escape, broken windows, and plumbing issues in 2000-2001, though these were reportedly resolved. The property has been the subject of multiple building violations, primarily in 2003, addressing issues like stair repair, security features, and interior surfaces, all of which were eventually abated.

A fascinating detail from 2001 shows neighbors complaining about bright halogen lights disturbing their windows and patio. More recently, there have been several complaints in 2024 regarding parking violations, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways. The building has a documented fire incident history, but notable events were limited to cooking-related issues with no civilian injuries reported.
