3100 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 16-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3100 Fulton Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Berger Fmly Lvg Tr and constructed in 1924, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, Units 12 and 15 reported persistent water intrusion problems from windows, with complaints filed in March 2023 regarding leaking, improper window latches, and hazardous appliance issues (including an improperly functioning gas oven), though these issues were officially abated by July 2023. The building is currently undergoing a fire alarm upgrade, with a permit filed in February 2024 to modernize the fire alarm panel and devices, though this permit remains in filed status as of October 2023.

Other recent maintenance work includes completed reroofing in March 2023 (at a cost of $85,000) and repairs to dry rot areas in 2018. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, including a recently issued violation in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, which remains open as of October 2023. Previous fire safety issues have included concerns about alarm systems (most recently in August 2024), blocked exits (2017), and various false alarm incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

The building underwent significant structural improvements in the early 1990s, including the installation of a new sprinkler system and foundation work. Historical violations from 2005 included concerns about fire escape ladders, window maintenance, and a malfunctioning garbage chute, all of which were eventually abated. Recent 311 calls (primarily from late 2024) have mostly related to external issues such as graffiti and debris on adjacent property, rather than internal building conditions.
