Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4626 Fulton Street, owned by Sairam Samir, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921 in the Central Richmond neighborhood. The property is currently undergoing significant renovations, with building permits issued in November 2024 for substantial interior work in both units (4626 and 4628), including kitchen relocations, bathroom remodeling, window replacements, and structural improvements, with an estimated cost of $200,000. This major renovation is accompanied by new electrical and plumbing work in unit 4628, involving comprehensive upgrades to the kitchen, bathroom, and electrical systems. The building has a documented history of maintenance and repairs over the past 25 years, including the complete reroofing in 1993, various window replacements, and significant termite and dry rot remediation work in 2010 and 2012.

The property has experienced some concerning safety issues in the past, with complaints filed in 2010 and 2003 regarding dry rot and unsafe stairs/porch structures, though these issues were addressed and marked as not active. While the building has required periodic maintenance including bathroom renovations, wood repairs, and window replacements, these have generally been completed satisfactorily. The area surrounding the building has experienced multiple parking-related incidents in recent years, with several complaints about blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2022 and 2024, although these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition. The most recent building improvements represent a substantial investment in updating and maintaining the property, addressing many of the building's older infrastructure components while also improving overall safety and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 4626 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.
