1260-1262 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

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.

The building has had multiple cancelled permits and permit renewals suggesting ongoing compliance work, particularly in relation to the Maher Ordinance requirements. While many of the historical violations and complaints have been resolved or abated, the property has a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and interior surface conditions, particularly notable in the late 2000s. Recent permit activity has been minimal, with the last significant building permit (for window work) being cancelled in 2017. The property has undergone various improvements over the years, including plumbing updates and electrical system modifications, though some permits from 2015-2017 related to windows and inspections show as cancelled or withdrawn.
