1553 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1553 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by the Abbott Living Trust, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2019, the building received window upgrades in the living room and front bedroom areas, with the installation of nine new wooden, dual-glazed double-hung windows costing $15,333. A substantial renovation project in 2011-2012 included comprehensive work on both units, featuring modifications to kitchens and bathrooms, installation of a new skylight, rear stair and landing improvements, and a complete electrical rewiring of both units.

The building has experienced some notable maintenance issues in the past, including a series of plumbing problems in 2000 involving sewage line blockages that resulted in flooding in the basement and back bedroom, which were promptly addressed. In 2008, the building faced violations related to water-damaged ceilings in the second-floor hallway and lead paint concerns, though these issues were resolved by October 2008. The property's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, including roofing work in 1999, although this permit has since expired.

Recent 311 calls regarding the property primarily concern external issues such as parking violations and waste management (including toters left out 24/7), rather than building-specific problems. There have been no reported building violations or serious maintenance issues in recent years, suggesting improved property maintenance. The most recent construction work, completed in 2019, indicates ongoing investment in building upkeep, with permits showing compliance with current building standards. The building's systems, including plumbing ventilation and electrical infrastructure, have been modernized as evidenced by the 2012 permits for new installations.
