Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1909 Fulton St in Park North is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Gregory S. and Katherine W. Low. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent renovation occurring in July 2018, consisting of a comprehensive kitchen remodel valued at $30,000. This renovation included plumbing work, new electrical systems with a subpanel and wiring, installation of smoke detectors, and various kitchen appliances. Earlier improvements include vinyl siding installation in 2004 ($10,600), window installations in 1985, and reroofing work recorded in 1999 (permit expired).

The building's recent incident history shows a pattern of external issues rather than internal problems, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the street in 2024, including incidents involving mattresses and furniture in June and September. There have been several parking-related incidents, with multiple reports of driveway blockages requiring enforcement intervention, though officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. A notable series of fire safety system activations occurred between 2023-2024, including detector activations for smoke and carbon monoxide, though investigation revealed no actual fires or carbon monoxide presence, with no injuries reported in any incidents. The property has also experienced some vandalism, with a defaced parking sign reported in February 2024 and graffiti noted in July 2023, though the latter case went unresponded for one month.

Risk rating

How 1909 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 135 are predicted to be safer.
