Initial analysis

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 4302 Fulton Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1967 and is currently owned by Kevin Chen and Dung Chuan Chu. The building's maintenance history shows several significant safety-related issues in September 2002, when multiple violations were documented including the need for smoke detectors in the lobby, recharging of fire extinguishers, and repairs to deteriorated exterior drainage pipes. These issues were addressed and officially abated by November 1, 2002. Earlier that same year, in May, the building underwent reroofing work at a cost of $5,500.

More recent history from 2021 to 2024 shows primarily external maintenance and community-related issues, particularly concerning the surrounding park areas. The property has experienced several incident reports regarding park services, including irrigation issues and park patrol concerns in 2023-2024, all of which were resolved. There were also multiple reports of loose garbage requiring street and sidewalk cleaning in 2021-2022, and two incidents of offensive graffiti in early 2021 that were addressed by city services. While these recent issues do not directly impact building safety or habitability, they do reflect on the general maintenance of the immediate area around the property.

Risk rating

How 4302 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

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.

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 67.4%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 18.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
