Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3400 Fulton St in the Inner Richmond, owned by Hong Jack Yongmin & Barbara, has a history dating back to its 1923 construction. The building experienced a significant cluster of health and safety issues in September 2002, when multiple violations were documented under the same complaint case (200233136). These violations included lead paint hazards, inadequate ventilation in habitable rooms, and problems with the fire escape drop ladder, all of which were officially abated by August 2006 following the issuance of notices of violation and a final warning letter in July 2006.

More recently, in October 2021, the building had a fire alarm system issue that was resolved within a month. The property experienced two fire department responses: one for a water or steam leak and another related to a false alarm, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building has had no documented housing violations or complaints since 2006, suggesting that the property has maintained compliance with building codes in recent years. External to the building's own issues, there have been various neighborhood matters in late 2024 including tree maintenance, graffiti removal, Muni service feedback, and general city service requests, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 3400 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, 1396 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.7%
Moderate concern 21.3%
Severe concern 18.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
