Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1536 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by Constance Life Es Wilkinson, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime. Historical records show that between 1986 and 1991, the building received various structural and aesthetic improvements, including aluminum siding installation (1986), reroofing (1990), and underpinning of footing to match adjacent construction (1991). In January 2019, there was a complaint filed regarding work conducted without proper permits on the second floor, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The building's more recent history from 2018 to 2024 has been marked primarily by external maintenance issues and urban challenges rather than internal structural concerns. Numerous 311 calls have been made regarding street-related issues, including garbage and debris (most recently in October 2024), blocked driveways (with two parking enforcement actions taken in 2023 and 2021), and sidewalk defects (2018). There was also a report of graffiti on the residential building in March 2019 that was promptly addressed. While these issues primarily relate to the building's exterior environment rather than its internal condition, they do reflect ongoing challenges with the surrounding area. The most recent building modifications on record are from over 30 years ago, with no documented major structural changes or improvements in recent decades.

Risk rating

How 1536 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
55th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 359 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.7%
Moderate concern 20.1%
Severe concern 20.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
