1563-1565 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

This three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 1563-1565 Fulton Street in Park North was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant changes over its lifetime. Most notably, the building experienced a fire in 2016 that resulted in extensive damage, particularly to the third and fourth floors of the rear pop-out section. In the summer of 2019, comprehensive rehabilitation work was completed, including the installation of 88 fire sprinkler heads throughout the building, an upgraded fire alarm system with residential notification devices, and thorough electrical system improvements including new plugs, lights, switches, and a 400-amp service upgrade.

The rehabilitation also included the replacement of fire-damaged exterior walls and new plumbing systems for the three-unit apartment building. The property has a history of maintenance and regulatory attention, with several building violations recorded in 2002 related to interior surfaces, fire safety, and building systems, though these were all abated by March 2013. Recent activities at the property have primarily involved routine maintenance and compliance matters, with regular 311 calls regarding parking enforcement and street cleanliness.

The building's tenant history includes multiple buyouts between 2016 and 2018, with significant payments totaling over $600,000 to tenants for unit relinquishments. Recent inspections and complaints related to alarm systems were addressed promptly, with no merit found in the most recent complaint filed in April 2024. The property has generally maintained compliance with building codes since the extensive 2019 rehabilitation, with most recent interventions focusing on routine maintenance, street cleaning, and parking enforcement matters. The building's systems upgrade in 2019 included new furnaces, water flow monitoring, and various system improvements to bring the building up to current codes and safety standards.
