Initial analysis

The 5-story, 36-unit apartment building at 337 Fulton Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1926, has experienced ongoing fire safety maintenance issues over recent years. The building's fire safety systems have been the focus of multiple citations and violations, with the most recent issues occurring in late 2024 and late 2023 involving sprinkler/standpipe system violations and 5-year service requirements. A substantial fire safety upgrade project took place between 2005-2023, including a $5,000 fire alarm control panel replacement and system upgrade in 2023 to meet current codes, along with various electrical improvements. The building has undergone several safety inspections revealing various concerns, including fire escape adequacy (2016), disabled fire alarm system (2015), and elevator license compliance (2013). Notable historical events include a fire in 2005 that required repairs, and multiple fire-related violations in 2017 requiring hearings for issues such as sprinkler maintenance and alarm system upkeep.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and resident comfort. There have been multiple violations related to heating systems (2006), security features (2003), and sanitation matters including a cockroach infestation (2006) and issues with garbage disposal areas (2006). More recent years have shown improved compliance with regular safety inspections, including one most recently filed in 2018, though some violations remain active or were only recently closed. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing attention to fire safety systems, with multiple permits and violations being addressed through repairs and system upgrades. The most current issues primarily revolve around fire safety systems, as evidenced by recent fire violations in late 2023/2024 regarding sprinkler and standpipe maintenance.

Risk rating

How 337 Fulton St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
