Initial analysis

The property at 1260-1262 Fulton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building known as a flats & duplex, constructed in 1880 in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The building has experienced a series of maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with significant events occurring between 2005 and 2020. Most notably, there were multiple violations filed in 2007-2008 related to water damage, mold/mildew, and lead paint concerns, though these were subsequently abated. A concerning complaint was filed in January 2020 regarding a possible unpermitted dwelling unit with full bathroom and kitchen facilities that may have been operating as a short-term rental, though this violation was later noted as abated.

The property underwent several major maintenance projects, including reroofing in 2013 ($8,000) and multiple permit renewals in 2015 to comply with physical inspection requirements (one permit issued for $1,000). There were also multiple plumbing and electrical improvements in the mid-2000s, including the installation of additional stoves and extensive electrical work in 2007-2009. More recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding various issues including parking violations, street cleaning, and a damaged tree (2020) near the property, though these are not necessarily directly related to the building's condition. The most recent active 311 report is from November 2024 regarding a noise complaint, though the nature of this issue is not specified in the records.

Risk rating

How 1260-1262 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.
