Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1186-1190 Fulton Street in Alamo Square, built in 1900 and owned by Robert Brantley & Frances C, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The property is currently facing multiple active complaints from 2024-2025, including concerns about broken windows, water leakage, mold issues, and structural problems such as broken stairs and storage-related fire hazards. A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2008-2009, including issues with fire safety, stairway handrails, gas shutoff tools, and fire proofing, though these were officially abated by June 2012. The building has undergone various repairs over the years, including work on handrails, fire safety improvements, and sheetrock repairs in 1990, but more recent history raises concerns about ongoing maintenance.

The most pressing current issues as of 2024-2025 include multiple complaints about mold, water damage, broken windows, and general disrepair, suggesting significant deterioration of building conditions. Historical records show the building has required various repairs and improvements, including reroofing in 1999 and multiple street space permits in 2014-2017. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2025 have primarily concerned external issues such as park maintenance and graffiti, though there was one report in 2024 about the building's fire extinguisher maintenance and another regarding stair repairs. The property's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with particular emphasis on fire safety compliance and structural concerns, though many past violations have been resolved through completed repairs and permit work.

Risk rating

How 1186-1190 Fulton St's risk score is calculated
