278-280 Shipley St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 278-280 Shipley Street property, located in the South of Market neighborhood, is a 2-story multi-family residential building with 4 units, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Murphy Bartholomew. The building underwent significant modifications in 1990, including a vertical addition and foundation and wall repairs in the basement area.

The property has experienced several concerning issues over the years, particularly in recent months, with multiple complaints and service calls in late 2024. These include flooding on the property in December 2024, multiple instances of graffiti, debris management challenges, and concerns about a blocked parking space related to a dumpster.

The building's safety and maintenance history shows a pattern of fire safety violations and complaints, with documented issues such as combustible materials, blocked exits, and alarm system deficiencies between 2011 and 2023, though many of these were either corrected or found to have no merit upon inspection. The property has also faced some building code enforcement matters, including complaints about possible illegal units and unauthorized ground floor renovations in 2008, which were eventually resolved. Recent 2025 complaints include garbage and debris issues and an open noise complaint regarding amplified sound, suggesting ongoing maintenance and quality of life challenges in the vicinity.
