1969 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1969 Fulton Street in the Park North neighborhood was constructed in 1987 and is currently owned by Helen Tan. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple challenges over its history. Most recently, in 2022-2023, the building underwent substantial rehabilitation work including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and replacement of kitchen hoods, with the work being valued at $60,000.

A notable incident occurred in January 2021 when a structure fire caused damage that required $420,000 in repairs, including smoke and water damage remediation, window replacements, and follow-up work completed in 2022. This fire incident led to violations related to the alarm system, exits/storage, sprinkler maintenance, and fire extinguisher servicing, though all were subsequently abated. The building's history includes several concerning patterns regarding habitability and safety. In 2016, multiple violations were documented including inadequate lighting in stairways, debris blocking fire escape, garbage management issues, pest infestation, and general sanitation concerns.

A 2019 complaint highlighted garbage management problems and a carbon monoxide issue, while 2001 saw various violations including lack of heat, inadequate fire safety measures, and security concerns, all of which were abated within a month. The property has had several fire safety-related issues over the years, including alarm system problems and fire extinguisher maintenance needs, with the most recent fire alarm system complaint being filed in January 2025. There is also an active complaint from 1994 regarding a possible illegal unit that has yet to be resolved. Recent improvements include exterior siding installation in 2014 and various remediation efforts to address past violations, though historical patterns of maintenance and safety compliance raise concerns about the property's ongoing upkeep.
