Initial analysis

This three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 1176-1178 Fulton Street in Alamo Square was constructed in 1895 and is currently owned by Ash Llc. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive remodel completed in 2023 that included kitchen and bathroom updates with new fixtures, cabinetry, countertops, and tiles, along with solar panel installations. The 2023 renovations included electrical upgrades with a new panel installation and plumbing modifications, all properly permitted and completed. Prior improvements include window replacements in 2013, solar panel installations in 2012, and a rebuild of a three-story rear stairway in 1990.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent being a leaking bathroom faucet complaint in 2015, which was resolved within weeks. Earlier violations from 2003 related to building safety, including requirements for fire extinguishers, handrails, and gas utility shutoff tools, were also subsequently abated by October 2015. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 2003, 2004, and 2009, which all resulted in resolutions. A notable event in the building's history was a tenant buyout in December 2018 involving two tenants and totaling $108,000. Recently, there has been a proposal to add an additional unit utilizing unused attic space with interior reconfiguration and dormer additions, though this project is currently listed as "Informational" in planning records.

Risk rating

How 1176-1178 Fulton 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.
