Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1927-1929 Fulton Street in Park North, owned by the Katina K Kostoulas Living Trust, was constructed in 1923 and contains two units. The property experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in October 2003, when multiple violations were filed including inadequate heating, plumbing problems, lead paint hazards, and concerns about an unauthorized ground floor unit and horizontal extension. The violations, which encompassed various categories such as building safety, plumbing, electrical, and interior surfaces, were ultimately resolved by March 2013. In late 2015, the building underwent substantial window improvements, with two separate permit records showing window replacements at a combined cost of approximately $39,769, including the installation of energy-efficient aluminium wood clad and wood composite windows with U-factors below 0.32, complying with the Maher Ordinance. The property also underwent stair repairs in December 2003, and in November 2015, there was a tenant buyout involving two tenants with a compensation amount of $20,000. While the building has had its share of historical issues, all known violations have been abated, and the recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property.

Risk rating

How 1927-1929 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
75th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 199 are predicted to be safer.
