1086-1088 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1086-1088 Fulton Street in Alamo Square, owned by Richard & Glenda Chenier Trust, has undergone significant improvements since its 1900 construction. Between 2019 and 2022, the property completed a major upgrade project that included adding two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the attic space, installing a comprehensive fire sprinkler system, and modernizing safety features with new fire alarms and detectors throughout the building.

The building underwent substantial unit renovations, including reconfiguring Units 1 and 2, remodeling Unit 3, and updates to plumbing systems including new water heaters and fixtures. Recent history indicates some concerns during construction periods, particularly in early 2023 when there were complaints about doubled utility bills and unresolved structural issues related to construction work. In 2021, there were multiple reports of electrical issues suggesting potential problems with utility meter separation.

The building has maintained active compliance with safety regulations, evidenced by regular safety inspections and prompt addressing of violations, such as the 2008 fire escape maintenance issues which were resolved within one month. Recent improvements include updated fire safety systems, individual unit upgrades with new kitchens and baths, and electrical system modernization with new subpanels and metering equipment. The property also experienced routine maintenance issues typical for the age of the building, including plumbing work and various system upgrades that demonstrate ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the ownership.
