Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 4930 Fulton Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Khavul Family 2000 Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1939 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received citations for problems with alarm systems and fire extinguishers, though these conditions were corrected by early October 2024. The building's fire safety history shows recurring concerns, with violations in 2019 for obstructed exits, fire escape issues, and fire extinguisher maintenance that were subsequently abated. Multiple false alarms and system malfunctions have been recorded throughout the years, particularly between 2016 and 2024, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

The property has undergone several maintenance projects, including a reroofing in 2003 and stucco repairs in 2008, though the latter did not address underlying fire safety concerns. Historical violations from 2004 documented multiple fire safety issues, including problems with fire escape ladders and egress obstructions, which were resolved by May 2004. More recent tenant complaints have focused on interior conditions, including peeling paint and concerns about lead hazards in 2018, as well as issues with inadequate garbage disposal facilities that reportedly overflowed and created health hazards. The building's heating system also experienced a failure in 2008, though this was resolved within a month. The property has consistently required attention to maintain basic safety standards, particularly regarding fire safety equipment and building maintenance, with various fire code violations being recorded and subsequently abated over the years.

Risk rating

How 4930 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
6th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2115 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 16.6%
Moderate concern 69.8%
Severe concern 13.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
