Aaron Peskin, a prominent San Francisco politician, is facing allegations of corruption and misuse of office. Reports indicate that Peskin and his wife, Nancy Shanahan, acquired multiple properties through questionable means, including a house on the Filbert Steps. The couple's real estate holdings also include properties at 21 Napier, 226 Filbert, 15-17 Castle, and 522 Filbert, as well as homes worth $2 million in Berkeley and $2.5 million in Big Sur. The properties, originally owned by Trafton, were reportedly transferred into their names by Peskin's parents. Critics accuse Peskin of abusing his office to benefit personally, with some calling his actions 'mob-like corruption' and 'shady hypocrisy.' Additionally, Peskin has been blamed for the removal of an affordable housing unit from Telegraph Hill. A former owner of one of the properties stated, 'I don’t think he’s an honest person.'
