Initial analysis

The property at 1799 Fulton Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1924, containing two residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has a significant commercial history, particularly with Starbucks occupying the ground floor, which has undergone multiple improvements including a major $204,000 renovation in 2012 involving interior and exterior updates, and the recent installation of a nitrogen coffee dispenser in 2019 valued at $8,500. The property has maintained active compliance and upgrading of its facilities, with substantial electrical and plumbing work completed in conjunction with commercial improvements, including the installation of a 30A 220V outlet in 2015 and various plumbing updates in 2012-2013.

Recent concerns have been primarily centered around the Starbucks operation, with a notable complaint filed in October 2019 regarding construction noise and vibrations impacting nearby residential units, though this complaint appears to be no longer active. The building's recent history shows multiple maintenance and service calls in early 2025, primarily relating to sidewalk cleanliness and graffiti issues, with some open cases regarding public works and painting services. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents on record, with nothing significant reported affecting civilian safety. Historical records indicate proper attention to building maintenance, with routine repairs including canopy and gutter work in 2004, and roofing work documented in 1992. The building underwent a two-unit condo conversion process at the 608 Masonic Avenue address, which was ultimately approved.

Risk rating

How 1799 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.
