Initial analysis

The property at 1175-1177 Shotwell Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Jean Sarris Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements in recent years, most notably in 2021 when major foundation work was completed in response to a violation regarding excavations that potentially undermined the building's foundation. This foundation repair, along with the replacement of the building's south-side siding with James Hardie fiber cement siding and re-roofing, represents substantial infrastructure improvements totaling over $50,000. During the same period, there were multiple plumbing issues addressed, including sewer work, gas line installations, and repairs to building drainage systems, some of which were the subject of violations but were ultimately abated by November 2021.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and environmental improvements, with the installation of solar panels planned in 2018 (though the permit expired) and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Historical records indicate significant changes to the property's configuration over time, including a 1993 conversion from a 4-unit to a 2-unit building and various interior renovations in 2001. The most recent activities on record primarily relate to building upkeep and compliance with safety requirements, with no active violations or unresolved complaints as of November 2021. While there have been recent exterior maintenance issues in the vicinity, including parking violations and encampments reported through 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, these are external to the building itself and relate to street conditions rather than building management or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1175-1177 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.
