870-874 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 870-874 Shotwell Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district, constructed in 1908, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. The most substantial improvements occurred in 2013, when comprehensive upgrades were implemented throughout all units, including full bathroom and kitchen remodels, window replacements (28 windows), HVAC system updates (new ductwork and furnaces), and electrical system overhauls with new 200-amp service installed.

The building also received thorough plumbing improvements, with complete updates to all bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities. Prior to these upgrades, the property experienced several serious maintenance issues between 2011-2012, including reports of water leaks, drainage problems, rotted fixtures, floor damage, and rodent infestation. A fence-related complaint was filed in early 2013 regarding property line encroachment concerns.

In the early 2000s, there were several violations related to security and gas meter requirements, though these were promptly resolved. Most recently, there have been some ongoing exterior maintenance issues, with recent 311 calls in 2024-2025 reporting graffiti, parking violations, and debris concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of periodic improvements being made to address various habitability concerns, particularly during the significant renovation period of 2013.
