1308-1310 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1308-1310 Shotwell Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Theodore A. Kim, has been standing since 1978 and recently came to attention for various maintenance and safety concerns.

The building underwent two roof replacement projects, with permits issued for $11,080 in 2007 and $4,300 in 2001, though the earlier permit expired. Starting in 2024, there has been a notable increase in incidents requiring municipal responses, particularly related to parking violations, with multiple cases of illegal parking and sidewalk obstructions reported between September and November 2024, though one case was unresolved when officers were unable to locate the offending vehicle.

The building's immediate surroundings experienced several sanitation issues in 2024, including instances of garbage and debris (notably a Christmas tree and human waste), with agencies such as Recology and Public Works responding to these cases. A concerning history of illegal short-term rental activity was documented between 2010-2011, with two applications denied and the property owner instructed to cease operations, while recent fire department responses in 2023 included two alarm activations - one for a carbon monoxide detector and another for an alarm system, though neither incident involved actual fire or injuries. The property has had regular maintenance activities, including at least one encampment cleanup and the removal of hazardous materials (glass) from the vicinity in 2024, indicating ongoing attention to both the building's condition and its immediate environment.
