1056 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1056 Fulton Street in Alamo Square, owned by Derek L & Patricia L Skidmore, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past few years. Most notably, in 2023 the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to comply with safety regulations, including new low-frequency horn strobes, smoke detectors, and manual alarms throughout the property. Recent maintenance work completed in late 2023 addressed various structural and safety issues, including replacing damaged siding boards, addressing dry rot, repairing window flashing, and replacing rusted downspouts, with a total investment of approximately $21,000.

The building's heating system has seen attention as well, with a new Peerless steam boiler installation in 2018, though there was a serious incident in December 2016 when tenants reported no heat in the building, leading to complaints about an inoperable boiler system and unauthorized repair attempts. The property has experienced several compliance and safety issues over its history, particularly in 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized units and electrical issues. These included reports of illegal units, unauthorized electrical connections, and concerns about electrical fire hazards - all of which were eventually resolved.

Earlier violations in 2007-2008 included various safety and maintenance issues such as problems with dryer vents, public hall ventilation, combustible storage, water heaters, and fire escape maintenance - all of which were abated. The building underwent significant roofing work in 2014 (roof replacement costing $22,500) and has had two tenant buyouts recorded in 2020 at 1060 Fulton Street with compensation amounts of $3,276 and $3,767.87. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned street maintenance issues, parking violations, and noise complaints, with the most pressing concerns being a deck replacement dispute from late 2023.
