Initial analysis

The property at 1011 Shotwell Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Michael J. Sinclair and Carol Lee Paiva, the building has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable challenges over the past decade. In 2017, the building experienced fire damage to its east wall, which was subsequently repaired in 2018, along with a comprehensive voluntary seismic retrofit, foundation replacement, and window glass/sash replacements costing approximately $154,000 combined. A major renovation project in 2010 included interior remodeling of the rear cottage, installation of skylights, and solar panel installation, though recent violations have emerged regarding unpermitted modifications to the skylights' positioning. The property is currently active with a complaint filed in June 2023 regarding unpermitted modifications to skylight installation and expired permits related to plumbing work, which have resulted in monthly monitoring fees. Recent improvements include the addition of a new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) within the existing building envelope, though this work was initially filed as part of a larger project. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure upgrades, including reroofing, electrical service improvements, and plumbing system updates, while parked vehicles blocking driveways and noise complaints have been common issues reported through 311 services, particularly during 2020.

Risk rating

How 1011 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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