881-883 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 881-883 Fulton Street, owned by Charles Patton, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1900. The property has seen substantial work in recent years, with the most notable recent project being the 2017-2018 renovation that involved removing a second bathroom, adding a second bedroom, and constructing a roof deck for the third-floor unit. This project initially required a fire sprinkler installation, but permits were subsequently revised to remove this requirement, with the estimated cost reduced from $50,000 to $25,000.

Other significant improvements have included a top unit kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2016 ($22,000), and substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades including new HVAC systems (2018), rewiring (2016), and various bathroom and kitchen renovations with associated safety upgrades. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, particularly in addressing security violations and basic maintenance issues. A cluster of complaints in 2005-2006 highlighted problems with windows, doors, and stairs, particularly concerning security and accessibility issues.

These violations, along with noted concerns about lead paint, were all officially abated by January 2006. The property has undergone routine safety inspections in 2010 and 2018, though a 2018 complaint about an over-height deck was filed and marked as not active. More recent planning records indicate ongoing discussions about adding a two-car garage in the existing full-height basement, though this proposal's current status is under review. The building's infrastructure has been regularly maintained, with plumbing work including roof drain installation and water line rerouting completed in 2018, and electrical systems receiving periodic updates including a complete rewiring of unit 883 and various system improvements.
