Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 1633-1637 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by Garvey Paul T & Sutton-garv, was constructed in 1900 and contains three units. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, most notably a series of violations in 2002 related to fire safety and security, including issues with stairs, fire extinguishers, deadlatch locks, exit door self-closing devices, and gas meter instructions. These violations were subsequently addressed and abated by May 2017. The property underwent some structural maintenance in 2002 with the replacement of rotten access stairs at the rear, a $12,000 repair project. More recently, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in 2024, with several street cleaning cases being reported and resolved, though one was closed due to insufficient information. The building's exterior has experienced recurring graffiti issues on adjacent AT&T property between 2022-2023, all of which have been addressed and resolved.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections, with the most recent documented in 2017, though there were prior complaints in 2009 regarding possible illegal units and general maintenance concerns. A fence-related security complaint from 2011 was promptly addressed and resolved the same day it was reported. The building's permit history shows limited activity, with only street space permits issued in 2007 and the aforementioned stair repair in 2002. While the property has faced multiple violations and maintenance issues over the years, most were resolved in a timely manner, particularly those related to safety and security in 2017. The recent spate of street cleaning issues in 2024 appears to be more related to external neighborhood conditions rather than specific building maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 1633-1637 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
53th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 375 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 53.8%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 26.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
