Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1428 Fulton Street, owned by Fulton Street House LLC, has a construction date of 1900 and has undergone various significant maintenance and safety-related work over the years. The most recent major structural maintenance occurred in 2021 when the building's railing was rebuilt at a cost of $5,000. More substantial work was completed in 2008 with the installation of a new steel beam and foundation in the garage, which cost $60,000. The building experienced a cluster of fire safety and building maintenance violations in September 2010, which were all resolved by February 2011, including issues with the fire alarm system, fire escape ladder, handrails, and exterior weatherproofing. Heating system upgrades were performed in 2012 with new console heaters installed in units #2 and #3.

Recent concerns include a currently open sidewalk defect reported in October 2023, and multiple parking enforcement calls in mid-2023 regarding driveway blocking. The building's most recent complaint history shows routine safety inspections conducted in 2017 and 2010, with all noted issues having been resolved. A minor electrical wiring incident was reported, though no civilian injuries were recorded. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations near the premises, as evidenced by several citations issued between 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing pattern of addressing structural, safety, and comfort-related improvements, though there are some recent exterior infrastructure concerns that require attention.

Risk rating

How 1428 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
42th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.7%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 15.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
