Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2384-2396 Fulton Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, built in 1905 and containing 6 units, has undergone significant recent development activity, primarily focused on adding five new ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) to the ground floor. The property, currently owned by Soto Fulton Properties LLC, is on record as a non-compliant Tier 3 soft-story building, with ongoing work to address seismic retrofit requirements. The building has experienced several construction-related issues in 2023-2024, including concerns about excavation affecting neighboring properties, improper debris containment, and potential lead paint hazards. Multiple active building violations from 2015 remain unresolved, including issues with heating, water temperature, interior surfaces, and security requirements. The property has undergone various infrastructure upgrades in 2024, including a permit for 400-amp electrical service installation and extensive plumbing work for the new ADUs. Historical records show past maintenance topics, including peeling paint and various system upgrades in 2016 (heaters, water heaters, and plumbing repairs). The building's compliance history shows both recent improvements and persistent regulatory challenges, particularly regarding soft-story retrofit requirements and unresolved building violations from 2015.

Risk rating

How 2384-2396 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 13.2%
Moderate concern 72.7%
Severe concern 14.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
