Initial analysis

The property at 1626-1628 Fulton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Park North, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Bryan S. Chua and Leslie Renee. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2008 covering all floors, garage, living spaces, and attic, along with hydronic heating upgrades and plumbing improvements. The property has demonstrated a commitment to modernizing infrastructure, evidenced by the installation of two separate solar panel systems in 2017, with one system featuring 15 PV modules (4.725 kW) and the other with 12 modules (3.78 kW). Electrical upgrades throughout the years have included comprehensive rewiring projects and panel upgrades, with substantial work performed in 2003-2007.

Recent history shows no major building code violations or safety concerns, though there was one plumbing complaint in 2012 related to an unmetered water line that was promptly addressed within weeks. The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in the vicinity, with several recent 311 calls about defaced parking signs and blocked driveways between 2023 and 2024, though these are external issues not directly related to building conditions. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of systems, with all major work receiving appropriate inspections and approvals. A significant portion of the mounted permits (2009) related to obtaining final inspections for previously approved work, while more recent permits (2012 and 2017) indicate attention to both historical system updates and modern sustainable technologies.

Risk rating

How 1626-1628 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
59th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 are predicted to be safer.

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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.3%
Moderate concern 17.3%
Severe concern 9.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
