Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1859 Fulton Street in Park North, currently owned by the Thomas J Carberry Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years. Most notably, in 2020, Unit #4 received a comprehensive bathroom remodel on the second floor, which included the installation of a fan, two lights, and an electrical outlet, with the work completed under both building and plumbing permits totaling $14,500 in renovations. More recently, in September 2022, the building underwent substantial maintenance with a $16,000 reroofing project. The property has a history of routine safety inspections, including those recorded in 2004 and 2016, though no active violations or concerns are currently noted.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both infrastructure and aesthetic upkeep, though there have been some recurring neighborhood issues as documented in 311 calls. These have primarily involved graffiti incidents (most recently in 2022), two parking complaints regarding driveway blockages in 2018, and various street cleaning matters. While these external factors don't directly impact the building's habitability, they do provide context about the surrounding area. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep by the owner, with no recorded building code violations or serious complaints against the property in recent years. The only expired building permit on record dates back to 1998 for reroofing work, though given the subsequent 2022 reroofing project, this appears to have been addressed.

Risk rating

How 1859 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
58th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 335 are predicted to be safer.
