3036-3040 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 3036-3040 Fulton Street is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing 3 residential units and ground-floor retail space, currently owned by 3036 Fulton Street LLC. Recent significant improvements include the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2022 ($30,000), a fire safety upgrade of 5 natural gas shutoff valves, and extensive electrical work including rewiring of six units and a 400-amp service upgrade in 2020.

The building underwent a major conversion in 2019, transforming three guest rooms with cooking facilities into legal dwelling units, including the addition of four new dormers and renovation of existing spaces ($825,788). The property has experienced multiple fire safety issues, with violations noted for sleeping area requirements (2023), blocked exits (2021), and expired fire extinguisher compliance (multiple years), though most have been corrected promptly. Historical concerns include a series of complaints about rear yard debris in 2002, a period of vacant commercial storefronts in 2018-2020, and various maintenance issues documented in the 1990s, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent renovations.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing minor issues such as garbage and debris concerns, though specific building maintenance complaints have decreased significantly since the major renovations. A sidewalk defect was noted in 2024, requiring immediate attention and proper permitting for repairs. The building has experienced several unintentional alarm activations over recent years, though these do not indicate actual fire incidents or injuries.
