Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 1419-1421 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by Giampaolo Boschetti, has undergone recent significant safety upgrades, including a $24,600 fire alarm system upgrade completed in October 2024 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, bringing the building up to current safety standards with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The property has a concerning history of safety compliance issues, with multiple violations documented in March 2023 related to fire safety equipment and building systems, though some of these have been marked as not active. A serious concern was raised in December 2020 regarding the building's apparent non-compliance with the city's soft-story property mandate, indicating potential structural concerns. The building experienced a notable incident in November 2020 when one flat reportedly lost heat, hot water, and gas services.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2009, 2011, and 2018, suggesting ongoing oversight. Historical issues include unauthorized advertising signs in 2005 that led to abatement proceedings, though these were resolved by 2014. Recent activity at the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved external maintenance concerns, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, though these are mostly routine municipal service matters. The most recent building permits and electrical permits from October 2024 indicate active management's attention to fire safety system maintenance and upgrades, suggesting improved responsiveness to safety requirements compared to past years.

Risk rating

How 1419-1421 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.
