Initial analysis

The 13-unit apartment building at 3024 Fulton Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Robert Villa, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1924. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 under Tier 3 requirements, at a cost of $75,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety standards. The property has seen consistent maintenance of basic systems, including the installation of new steam boiler in 2013 ($12,000), comprehensive window replacement projects in 2014 ($18,754) and 2010 ($4,000), and roofing work completed in 2004 ($16,500). While the building has faced various housing code violations in the past (most notably in 2004-2009), including issues with fire safety and electrical systems, all have been resolved and abated. The property has undergone regular safety checks, with most recent fire extinguisher inspections in 2022 and 2023 revealing and subsequently correcting findings.

The building's maintenance history shows proactive owners addressing major systems and safety requirements, though there have been ongoing issues requiring attention. Recent complaints (2020-2023) have primarily been related to building systems and fire safety equipment, including fire extinguisher inspections and a 2020 complaint regarding potentially unpermitted construction claims. The building's permit history shows appropriate attention to required upgrades and maintenance, including compliance with window regulations. The property has maintained its multi-family residential classification throughout its history, with no commercial units present. Recent interactions with city services have mostly involved routine maintenance and compliance issues rather than serious concerns, with all recent fire safety complaints showing proper resolution through corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 3024 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
2th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1689 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 13.7%
Moderate concern 37.0%
Severe concern 49.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
