2454 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2454 Fulton Street, owned by the Gee Family Trust and constructed in 1961, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing series of water-related problems, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024 regarding leaking windows causing hazardous conditions in stairways, mushroom growth, and water damage. A concerning seismic safety complaint was filed in November 2022, describing violent shaking from passing vehicles and visible cracking on the building's rear, though this was marked as "Not Active" in January 2025.

The building's fire safety systems appeared to require substantial attention in 2019, with multiple violations including concerns about the fire escape ladder, smoke enclosure door closers, alarm panel, and the need for architect/engineer inspections - all of which were eventually abated. Recent improvement work includes window replacements in Units 102 and 302, roof work completed in 2020, and the building has been identified as a Tier 3 soft-story property, indicating it may require seismic retrofitting. The building's maintenance history shows both regular upkeep and reactive repairs, including the most recent window replacement in light well and stucco work completed in September 2024.

Units have experienced various quality of life issues, including a 2024 complaint about hallways being used for trash storage, though this complaint is no longer active. While the building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years, the recurring nature of water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints from 2022-2024, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained compliance with various fire safety requirements where violations were previously noted, and recent permits indicate ongoing commitment to maintaining the building infrastructure.
