1026 Shotwell St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1026 Shotwell Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in February 2024, there were urgent water-related problems reported, including a bathroom ceiling leaking gallons of water per hour and mold issues, with concerns about water infiltration into walls and windows. Earlier structural concerns were documented in 2021 when a roof-related problem was reported, and there have been multiple instances of stair-related issues requiring attention.

The building has undergone several repair projects over the years, including rear stair replacements and roof repairs, most recently in 2022 at a cost of $20,000 to address a notice of violation. A substantial cluster of violations was recorded in 2002, including issues with security, fire safety, plumbing, and interior surfaces, though these were all abated by December 2002. The property has a long history of maintenance challenges, including fungal damage to back stairs in 1996, fire damage repairs in 1991, and various plumbing and electrical issues.

Concerns about living conditions were raised in complaints ranging from mold and window problems to illegal basement units in 2005. More recently, there is a record (now closed) of a private food business operating from the residential property. The building's maintenance history includes multiple reroofing projects and stair repairs, indicating ongoing attention to structural elements. In addition to building-specific issues, there have been numerous recent complaints about parking violations in the surrounding area, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or operations.
