274 Shipley St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 274 Shipley St in the South of Market neighborhood has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1906. Recent concerns from 2023-2024 include a safety-related complaint about a staircase to the garage with inadequate head clearance due to a bookshelf installation, and a report of an overgrown tree as of September 2024.

The building has experienced several significant infrastructure problems over the years, including multiple water-related issues: a sewage leak in the basement (2021), various water seepage and leak problems in the bathroom area (2001), and multiple fire department responses for gas and water leaks. Historical records show attempted improvements in the late 1990s, including basement sheetrock work and kitchen cabinet replacement, though some permits were cancelled or expired. The building's maintenance history reveals periods of inadequate attention to water damage and ventilation concerns, with particular attention needed to the bathroom areas.

Recent complaints also indicate issues with improper waste management and illegal parking in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The property has experienced five fire-related incidents, primarily involving water or gas-related issues, but fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding water management and general upkeep.
