Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 3100 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1620 are predicted to be safer.
