Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2444-2446 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Allen & Lucita Mitchell Rev. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent work in 2023 involving the installation of in-unit laundry facilities, complete with electrical and plumbing upgrades. In 2022, 400 square feet of non-street-visible siding was replaced on the building's east side with Hardie Plank materials. A notable renovation occurred in 2003 when the rear wood stairway was repaired and the ground floor was remodeled to add two bedrooms and a full bathroom, accompanied by extensive electrical upgrades including the installation of 200-amp service and additional kitchen features.

The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its history, particularly concerning the rear wood stairs, which were the subject of multiple building violations in 2003, 2009, and 2016. A 2022 complaint reported serious interior problems including lack of heat, mold, and water leakage, and a 2020 complaint raised concerns about lead paint containment. Historical records show a 2003 violation regarding smoke detectors, exhaust flue repairs, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits, while a 2009 routine inspection noted the need for unit identification numbers. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with most violations being addressed promptly, though some issues persisted over time. Recent 311 calls between 2021-2024 primarily relate to exterior maintenance matters such as graffiti removal and illegal postings, as well as cases of damaged trees and park maintenance requests in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 2444-2446 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.

Neighborhood percentile

32th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 353 are predicted to be safer.
