Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2950 Fulton St in the Inner Richmond, owned by Bruce Muller, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $150,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a substantial reroofing project completed in 2022 ($25,000). The building has seen two significant unit improvements in the past decade: a kitchen remodel in Unit #11 in 2016 ($17,000) and in Unit #5 in 2013 ($15,000), both including modern electrical upgrades and new appliances.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with all identified violations from a 2004 routine inspection being corrected by May 2004. These violations included issues with the garbage chute, sprinkler protection, wood stairs, emergency exits, smoke detectors, and a missing fire escape drop ladder. More recent inspections have shown several minor issues: a sprinkler/standpipe system concern in 2023, exit maintenance issue and street numbering problem in 2022, and another street numbering issue in 2019, all of which were either corrected or found to have no merit. The property experienced a roof cornice drop incident in 2002, which was quickly addressed. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 through early 2025 have primarily concerned street-level issues such as graffiti and debris, which were handled by city services, and there was one parking enforcement request.

Risk rating

How 2950 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
3th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1671 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 18.4%
Moderate concern 36.4%
Severe concern 45.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
