Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit building at 3548-3552 Fulton Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Sommerlandt Martin & Abigai, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone multiple significant renovations over recent years. The property has seen substantial improvements between 2013-2019, including bathroom and kitchen remodels, window replacements, electrical rewiring, and HVAC system updates, with the most recent work involving a sidewalk construction project in November 2024 that received some initial complaints about unpermitted work. There were three notable complaints regarding unpermitted work in 2018-2019, though these issues appear to have been addressed promptly.

The building's historical maintenance record shows periodic updates to essential systems, including plumbing, electrical, and safety features. Between 2003 and 2019, there was a cluster of violations primarily related to fire safety, such as egress obstructions and combustible storage issues, though all were abated by November 2003. Earlier issues from 1995 documented significant tenant concerns about bathroom conditions, which were resolved quickly. Recent tenant issues have been limited to standard service requests, primarily handled through 311 calls, with the most recent concerns relating to garbage debris and park rule violations in early 2025, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The building has also experienced two false fire alarm incidents with no reported injuries.

Risk rating

How 3548-3552 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

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.7%
Moderate concern 25.0%
Severe concern 17.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
