1048-1052 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit residential building at 1048-1052 Fulton Street in the Alamo Square neighborhood, owned by 1050 Fulton St LLC, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing legal matter regarding an unauthorized roof deck and extended rear stair access, which was the subject of a building violation complaint filed in May 2023 and has led to a recent permit filed in December 2024 to "legalize" the first floor residential unit along with fire safety upgrades.

This followed previous attempts to establish a roof deck in 2013, which were cancelled, and an earlier compliance action in 2023-2024 to remove the unauthorized roof deck and stair extension, for which a $10,000 permit was issued. The building has undergone substantial improvements since 2012, including significant structural work with a $150,000 foundation and ground floor upgrade project that included plywood shearwalls and new beams, along with the replacement of dry rot in the rear staircase.

Comprehensive plumbing and electrical system upgrades were completed in 2012-2013, including the installation of three gas furnaces, complete rewiring of all units, and the installation of 12 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, and laundry facilities across the units. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection showing no active violations, though there are several open service requests from 2023-2024 related to external issues like garbage and debris removal, and tree root concerns on the property.
