Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 2474-2478 Fulton Street, located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood, was constructed in 1915 and is currently owned by the Gary K Low 2019 Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the completed re-roofing project in July 2023 costing $35,600, and a platform replacement project filed in February 2018 valued at $14,000. In 2006, a substantial kitchen renovation was completed in unit 2474, involving new cabinets, fixtures, and windows, with associated electrical work including installation of lighting, switches, and receptacles. The building underwent a comprehensive housing inspection in 2016, which revealed several fire safety and security issues that were promptly addressed and abated by December 2016, including the installation of fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide alarms.

Recent activity around the property has included several parking enforcement calls in 2024 regarding driveway blockages, and reports of graffiti and sidewalk blocking from construction equipment in late 2023. There are two historical mold and mildew complaints on record from 2002, and a combustible materials issue noted and resolved in 2010. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with recent permits indicating proper investment in the property's infrastructure. While there is an open case from October 2023 regarding sidewalk blocking by construction equipment, most recent violations and complaints have been resolved or closed. The property's documented history shows active management response to both safety issues and routine maintenance needs, with no recent serious safety violations recorded.

Risk rating

How 2474-2478 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.8%
Moderate concern 19.6%
Severe concern 4.6%
