In San Francisco, a possible arson incident is under investigation after a garage fire was reported at 671 Shotwell St., allegedly started by unhoused individuals. The building's owner has been in conflict with this group for some time, with escalating tensions leading to vandalism and even legal action against the city by frustrated residents due to street conditions. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, and the fire was contained before significant damage ensued. Local authorities are being engaged to address these concerns amidst the ongoing feud.
The fire was right next to the tennis courts at Jose Coronado Park - a frequent hang-out spot for late-night drinking.
The building's owner said he had elevated his concerns about being targeted by this group of unhoused people to the local police station and the mayor's office.
SFPD, in a statement, said police officers at the scene 'were advised that a suspect started a fire that caused minor damage to a garage.'
Neighbors expressed frustration with a group of unhoused individuals loitering on the block, leading to a previous lawsuit against the city for poor street conditions.
