1596-1598 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1596-1598 Fulton Street, owned by Felix and Marika Burmeister, was constructed in 1900 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably a cancelled 2018 permit for a new roof deck, stairs with skylights, and bathroom renovations on the second and third levels.

The building experienced a small fire incident in March 2006 affecting the main entry, and prior repairs included addressing dry rot at the deck and garage door improvements in 2004, with associated electrical work for garage door openers in 2005. The property has a documented history of housing code violations and maintenance issues, particularly during the 2003-2004 period, when multiple fire safety concerns were identified, including problems with fire extinguishers, emergency exit lights, and fire escape maintenance. While these violations were officially abated in March 2013, the building experienced various resident complaints in the following years regarding issues like heating problems, window sealing, and deck safety.

A recent complaint from March 2023 indicated a vacant commercial space on the ground level. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure issues, though some repairs have been cancelled or expired, including a 2004 permit for beam replacement on the deck. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti, flooding, and encampments, rather than building-specific problems.
