3844-3846 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3844-3846 Fulton St, owned by Hong Kuai Keong & Hung Yee, has undergone significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1923, most notably following a serious fire incident in May 2018 that rendered the building unsafe and uninhabitable, causing extensive damage including fire-damaged joists and smoke damage throughout. The building has since seen substantial rehabilitation efforts, including the legalization of an in-law unit on the ground floor in 2020 (cost: $93,275), complete fire repairs in 2019 that addressed two kitchens, four bathrooms, three laundry rooms, and other systems (totaling over $175,000), and recent fire safety upgrades including the installation of sprinklers throughout the ground floor and underground areas (2023) and a new fire sprinkler monitoring system (2023) costing over $30,000 combined.

Recent improvements include the installation of a ductless heat pump system (September 2023), compliance window replacements (2019), and various plumbing updates including the installation of fireplaces, heating systems, and kitchen appliances. The property has been actively maintained since the 2018 fire, with the most recent work focusing on fire safety improvements and system upgrades.

The building's history includes three street space permits in 2019-2020, and various 311 calls related to minor issues such as illegal postings, parking concerns, and general maintenance inquiries. The property's fire safety measures have been systematically upgraded post-incident, with multiple permits demonstrating ongoing investment in building safety and habitability. While there are no current active violations or complaints related to the building's core habitability or safety systems, the property underwent significant rehabilitation work following the 2018 fire, including comprehensive fire repairs across various building systems, indicating a serious commitment to restoring and maintaining the property's safety standards.
