Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 4334 Fulton Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Velma D Mar Living Trust, has undergone several major safety and modernization upgrades in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (as a Tier 3 property), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Between 2018-2019, significant fire safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system at the ground floor (legalizing an additional unit), a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade with low-frequency horns in existing units and ADUs, and proper fire safety equipment installations. In 2023, the building underwent electrical system improvements with the relocation of sub panels from unit closets to outside walls in Units 3, 4, and 5, enhancing safety and access.

The property's history shows consistent maintenance and compliance efforts, including window replacements (2007-2010), roofing work (2008, 1995), and the installation of vinyl siding (2007). Of particular interest is the legalization process for the ground floor unit, which was completed in 2016-2019, including the necessary plumbing and electrical upgrades to meet current codes. Historical records indicate completion of routine housing inspections in 2002, 2003, and 2016, with no active violations on record. The building's surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls (2023-2024), primarily related to street and park maintenance matters, though these external issues do not directly impact the building's operations or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 4334 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
36th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1440 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.9%
Moderate concern 10.7%
Severe concern 11.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
