1880 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

1880 Fulton Street is a 9-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Central Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) costing $75,000, and a comprehensive electrical panel upgrade in December 2020, replacing 21 Federal Pacific electric panels with new Square D panels. Historical maintenance records show earlier repairs including stucco and brick work in 2005, though a reroofing permit from 1995 shows as expired. The building has experienced multiple safety-related issues over the years, particularly concerning fire safety systems.

There have been at least six fire alarm system violations between 2016 and 2023, with a notable violation in 2020 for storage/combustibles in the exit path and extinguisher service requirements that were subsequently abated. The property has also had documented lead paint concerns in 2011-2012, which were addressed by January 2012. More recent complaints include a 2018 plumbing issue with water leakage affecting showers, and a 2024 report regarding excessive clutter in one unit that has received multiple attention since 2013. Recent activity around the property (December 2024) shows multiple reports of garbage and debris issues on the street and sidewalk areas, with nine separate resolutions involving various types of abandoned items including furniture and appliances.

The building's historical heating system issues were addressed in 1997, when tenants reported central heating failure since 1996. Two recent fire-related incidents in 2019 and 2023 were resolved without any civilian injuries or significant complications. The property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements, including the completion of its soft-story retrofit, but the recurring fire alarm system issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance. The recent cluster of debris-related complaints in late 2024 may indicate current property management challenges or external factors affecting the building's surroundings.
