AI summary

The 6-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1659-1661 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by Joffrion-price Trust, has a documented history dating back to 1900. The building underwent significant improvements in 2024 with the completion of permeation grouting beneath the western footing, addressing potential foundational concerns. Previous structural work included the installation of new sill plates in 2013 to meet 2010 California Building Code requirements, though this was preceded by a wood rot repair in 2010. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to street space permits in 2014 and an older reroofing project from 1994.

The property has experienced two significant housing inspections - one in 2002 and a more recent one in 2016, which revealed multiple fire safety violations including the need for fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide alarms, and the removal of obstructions from fire escape stairs. These violations were all abated by December 2016, suggesting prompt attention to safety concerns. The building has also had some minor maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including a missing side sewer vent cover in 2019 which was resolved within three weeks, as well as reports of graffiti in 2016 and 2017, though these external issues do not directly affect resident safety. While the building has faced several fire safety violations in the past, records indicate that management has addressed these issues when they arise, with no active violations currently on file.

Risk rating

How 1659-1661 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.

Neighborhood percentile
42th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.4%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 28.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
