1040 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

1040 Fulton Street is a 19-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Alamo Square neighborhood, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Peter Boesch Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant structural and safety upgrades over the past decades, including mandatory seismic retrofitting (soft-story retrofit) completed in 2015, new foundation work in 2015, and comprehensive solar panel installations in 2002 (3-4 kW system with battery backup) and 2006 (24 panels).

The building has experienced recurring issues with wood deterioration, particularly in balconies and stairs, with the most recent repairs occurring in 2022 involving the replacement of dry-rotted wood members at stairs and balconies. The property has undergone three routine housing inspections in recent years (2023, 2010, 2007), with all significant violations from the 2007 inspection resolved by January 2008, including issues related to stairs, fire safety systems, and light/ventilation requirements. A notable fire alarm system issue was recorded in July 2018, which was promptly corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both structural and safety concerns, including a 2008 sewer pipe replacement and various repairs to address dry rot and stucco damage. Recent 311 calls (2024) have mainly concerned exterior issues such as graffiti and sidewalk maintenance, though these are not direct reflections of building conditions. The most recent building permit activity relates to structural repairs, maintaining the property's compliance with safety standards.
