Initial analysis

The property at 1945 Fulton Street is a 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Park North neighborhood. Built in 1923, this 2-story flats and duplex structure is currently undergoing significant improvements, with major renovation work initiated in August 2024 including the conversion of a garage storage area into livable space with new bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and windows, at a cost of $75,000. This project is accompanied by comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades, as evidenced by permits issued on October 3, 2024, for the installation of new water heaters, laundry facilities, and extensive rewiring work throughout both floors, including kitchen and bathroom renovations and an electrical service upgrade to 150 amps.

The building's maintenance and improvement history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a 2000 permit for replacement of rear windows. Recent neighborhood history (2019-2022) includes various municipal service calls, primarily related to graffiti issues and a flooding incident on the street in late 2019, though these external issues appear to have been resolved and do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The property's current renovation work represents the most substantial investment in the building's improvement and modernization to date, focusing on expanding and upgrading living spaces while maintaining the existing unit count.

Risk rating

How 1945 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, 199 are predicted to be safer.
