1080 Shotwell St

Inner Mission, SF 94110 6519013 4 units · 2 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1080 Shotwell St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1080 Shotwell Street in the Inner Mission, owned by 1080 Shotwell Street LLC, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the property completed a voluntary soft-story retrofit in 2014 (cost: $74,000), enhancing its seismic safety. Recent renovations include an interior remodel of Unit 4 in 2021 ($32,000) featuring a kitchen and bathroom upgrade with new plumbing fixtures, lighting, cabinets, and flooring, as well as the complete rewiring of both Unit 4 in 2022 and Unit 3 in 2018. The building has received substantial infrastructure updates, including a new main sewer line installation in 2014, an electrical service upgrade to 200 amps in 2014, and various unit-specific improvements such as the installation of gas fireplaces (2018, 2022), furnace and ducting (2018), and multiple unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels.

Historical records show several violations and complaints between 2003 and 2007, primarily related to safety and maintenance issues such as stair repairs, combustible storage, and unpermitted water heater installations. However, all these violations were addressed and abated by 2005-2007. The building has maintained compliance with building codes since then, with no active violations in recent years. Three complaints were filed in 2007 regarding noise and fumes from a bicycle repair business operating on the premises, which have since been resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2023 have primarily been related to parking enforcement and street maintenance issues outside the building, rather than internal building concerns. The property has a documented history of regular maintenance and upgrades, with particular attention to seismic safety, electrical systems, and individual unit improvements, demonstrating ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure and resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 1080 Shotwell St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
55thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1071 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
