Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1953 Fulton St in Park North, owned by Wong Fong&wui Foon Lew Rev, has been standing since 1920 and consists of two stories. The property has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues over the past decade, with the most recent incident occurring in December 2024 involving human waste or urine on the premises, which was resolved by Street and Environmental Services. The building's history includes documented incidents of graffiti, illegal postings, and general cleanliness concerns, including a 2019 case of non-offensive graffiti that was abated, two separate instances of illegal postings in 2015 and 2017, and a 2016 case involving loose garbage. While all these issues were ultimately resolved according to city records, their frequency suggests an ongoing need for attention to building maintenance and surrounding area upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1953 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, 215 are predicted to be safer.
