4900 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94121

4900 Fulton Street is a three-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by 4900 Apartments, LLC. The building has undergone significant structural maintenance and repairs over recent years, addressing recurring issues with dry rot and balcony maintenance. Between 2014 and 2018, multiple permits were issued for repairs including the replacement of rotted materials in stairways, balconies, and walls on various building facades, with costs ranging from $12,000 to $60,000 for these critical structural improvements.

More recently, there have been several fire safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and an alarm systems issue in September 2023 (which was corrected in October 2023). Historical records show a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2002-2003 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with smoke detectors, plumbing fixtures, and rodent infestation. The building has experienced some fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage - the most recent being a smoke detector activation in 2023.

In addition to structural and safety concerns, there have been ongoing issues with waste management at the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic systems, with multiple boiler replacements and electrical work completed between 2010 and 2016. While several fire safety violations and building maintenance issues have been documented over the years, many of these have been addressed promptly through proper permits and corrective actions. The property has undergone routine housing inspections over the years, with most violations being resolved within reasonable timeframes, though the most recent violation regarding sleeping area requirements from October 2023 remains open as of the latest records.
