Initial analysis

The property at 2526-2528 Fulton Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1911 and currently owned by Beauford James E, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. In 2004, substantial interior renovations were completed including a kitchen remodel with new cabinets and countertops, bathroom updates with new fixtures and tiling, along with comprehensive electrical work on the top floor involving installation of lights, switches, receptacles, circuits, and appliances. A sewer repair was performed in September 2021, which followed a notable period of sewer issues in early 2021 when there were two separate incidents of sewage backup.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a complete reroofing project valued at $11,500 in 2000. Recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, with an open complaint from August 2023 regarding municipal maintenance, though this may relate to city infrastructure rather than the building itself. The property has experienced some external challenges that are not directly related to building maintenance, including multiple incidents of sidewalk parking (resulting in citations) between 2019 and 2022, and a couple of sidewalk defect reports in 2022, though one was determined to be outside the contractor's jurisdiction. The building's management has generally responded appropriately to issues, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of a graffiti complaint in 2016 and a fire complaint in 2017, where conditions were corrected within five days of the report.

Risk rating

How 2526-2528 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.
