2374-2378 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2374-2378 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Calvin Yong Gee, has experienced several significant structural and safety issues in recent years. Most pressingly, there is currently an active violation from March 2023 regarding foundation undermining on the west side of the property due to over-excavation at a neighboring property, which has resulted in approximately 6-7 feet of depth deterioration affecting two 10-foot sections of the foundation in sandy soil. In July 2023, a report was filed regarding concerns about a previously completed garage beam replacement from 2014, suggesting inadequate structural support and potential failure of the rear building section.

The building underwent a substantial improvement project in 2022-2023, converting garage and storage space into an ADU, including new deck construction, which was initially estimated at $245,000. The property has a history of safety and compliance issues, including a 2019 situation involving allegedly exposed lead paint, potential asbestos concerns, and improper construction practices during remediation work that affected occupied units with young children. In 2017, the building received violation notices related to fire safety equipment, including the need for carbon monoxide alarms and fire extinguisher servicing, though these were marked as not active after being addressed.

The building's maintenance history includes several street space permits and routine housing inspections dating back to at least 2004, with periodic issues related to graffiti and signage requiring municipal intervention. A documented gas leak incident was also recorded, though with no civilian injuries reported. The recent structural issues, particularly the foundation concerns, represent the most significant ongoing challenges facing the property as of October 2023.
