2470 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2470 Fulton Street in Lone Mountain, built in 1963, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decade. Most recently, the building completed a fire alarm system upgrade in September 2024 to comply with modern safety standards. The building has demonstrated regular maintenance and upgrades, including a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2016-2017 at a cost of $120,000, which addressed seismic safety requirements.

Other major improvements include a new roof installation in 2020, electrical system upgrades including panel relocations and replacements in 2020, and plumbing improvements such as water heater replacement in 2019 and deck drain installation in 2018. The building has experienced some concerning maintenance issues that have required attention, particularly during 2016-2017 when there were reports of building shifting and dry rot during the soft-story construction period. This period also saw a cluster of violations related to water damage, light switches, and lead paint hazards, though these were all abated by June 2017.

More recent fire safety concerns were addressed promptly, with violations related to alarm systems and blocked exits being corrected or found to have no merit. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both routine upkeep and emergency repairs, including termite damage remediation in 2013 and various electrical and plumbing system improvements. The property is currently managed by Trust A Under Trust.
