AI summary

The property at 3420 Fulton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1911 and currently owned by the Mcburnett-pfiffner Revoc Tr, this apartment building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2017, a solar installation was completed, featuring 30 photovoltaic modules with a total capacity of 7.65 kW DC, representing a commitment to sustainable energy. Recent maintenance includes reroofing work performed in 2022 at a cost of $9,000. The building has a history of window improvements, with permits issued in 2011 for the replacement of nine vinyl clad wood windows, although these permits eventually expired. Earlier renovations include an interior remodeling project completed in 1997 that updated bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen.

Of particular note are recent sanitation concerns in the immediate vicinity of the building, with multiple (10) reports of overflowing garbage and debris in January 2025 alone, all of which were addressed and closed by Recology. These recent waste management issues, occurring weekly and concentrated in a two-week period from late December 2024 to early January 2025, represent the most significant current concern associated with this property. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including two previous reroofing projects (in 2002 and 1981), though some permits from earlier periods are listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 3420 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, 879 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.

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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.0%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 4.3%
