Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 4244 Fulton Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Vjeskoslava Oplanic, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several significant events over its history. In 2000, the building underwent a series of housing inspection violations related to safety and security, including issues with smoke detectors, fire sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and security requirements such as self-closing doors and deadlatch locks. These violations were all successfully abated by November 17, 2000. The building had another notable incident in 1989 when an illegal basement bathroom was dismantled, following a 1985 permit to bring the building "into code." More recently, in March 2009, there was a complaint about unpermitted construction work and noise, though this was resolved within a few days.

The property's current surroundings have experienced numerous external maintenance and enforcement issues in 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents and street cleaning needs, particularly regarding garbage and debris on the streets. There were also documented issues with encampments and a need for park patrols in the vicinity. While these recent external issues are not directly related to the building's structural or safety conditions, they may impact the overall living environment. The building has not undergone any documented tenant buyouts, though there is a record of a separate tenant buyout at a different address (792 19th Avenue) in 2016 for $21,400 involving two tenants.

Risk rating

How 4244 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.2%
Moderate concern 21.2%
Severe concern 17.7%
