Initial analysis

The property at 1939-1941 Fulton Street in Park North is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Alice & Kevin Tom Family Trust 2. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling project valued at $50,000, electrical upgrades including the installation of a 70-amp subpanel, and plumbing work involving bathroom renovations and fixture replacements. Prior to this, the building completed important infrastructure upgrades in 2021 to comply with a physical inspection report (CC-8460), and in 2019, both units received electrical upgrades to replace fuses with circuit breakers.

The building is currently undergoing exterior renovations, which have generated noise complaints from residents in July 2023, though this issue was promptly addressed by building inspectors. Historical maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a reroofing project completed in 2004 and the installation of water sub-meters in 2018. The property has experienced some water-related issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding flooding and water leaks in late 2019, though these were documented as external rather than building-specific problems. The building is designated as a two-unit condo conversion property in official planning records, and all recent permits and work have been completed in compliance with building regulations.

Risk rating

How 1939-1941 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
96th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 are predicted to be safer.
