2436 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2436 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Dea Thomas, was constructed in 1924 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over its history. Most recently, in 2024, there have been ongoing issues with illegal postings and graffiti on the property. The building underwent window improvements in 2011 and 2012, with permits showing replacement of multiple windows with modern materials, demonstrating some investment in unit upgrades. The property has a concerning history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly evident during inspections in the 2000s.

In 2003, multiple violations were documented, including problems with drainage pipes, smoke detectors, mold buildup, emergency exits, and fire proofing requirements, though these were all abated by May 2003. A 2011 complaint cited issues with mold and inadequate weatherproofing. The building has also had some significant historical events, including fire damage in 1987 requiring repairs, and a serious maintenance complaint in 1996 noting poor conditions in a unit with issues like rotted linoleum, plumbing problems, and mold-infested cupboards. More recent routine safety inspections (2009 and 2016) did not result in filed violations, suggesting some improvement in building conditions.

The property has also experienced several tree-related issues between 2021-2024, primarily involving damaged trees requiring maintenance. The building's permit history shows basic maintenance activities, including reroofing work from 1998 (permit expired) and various window replacements, indicating ongoing physical maintenance of the structure. While there have been numerous complaints and violations over the years, most have been resolved through inspection requirements and permits, though the patterns of past issues suggest some historical challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. Recent years have shown fewer major building code violations, though the recent complaints about illegal postings and graffiti in 2024 indicate some continuing challenges with property maintenance.
