1639-1643 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1639-1643 Fulton Street, owned by Raul Arriaza, was constructed in 1904 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2021 under Tier 3 compliance, which included seismic upgrades valued at $48,000 completed in 2017.

Recent maintenance work includes dry rot repairs to the fire stairwell in the backyard (October 2023, $3,000) and a comprehensive kitchen remodel in Apartment B in 2021 ($12,000) that included new appliances and electrical upgrades. The property has addressed various structural issues over the years, including garage dry rot repairs in 2011. The building's recent history shows an active response to maintenance and safety requirements, though there was a period of non-compliance with the Soft Story retrofit program in 2019 that required notification and abatement through 2021.

While the building's internal systems have received attention, the surrounding area has experienced ongoing issues with street cleanliness and abandoned items, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and parking violations. These exterior issues, though not directly related to building safety or maintenance, may impact resident experience in the immediate vicinity. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and adherence to safety requirements following the initial compliance issues in 2019, with no recorded fire incidents affecting the building structure or residents.
