Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5024-5026 Fulton Street, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1941. The most substantial recent development was the legal addition of a third unit to the ground floor in 2019, which included extensive fire safety upgrades such as a new sprinkler system (complete with 14 heads and dedicated 2" fire service) and a monitoring communication unit, all installed per NFPA standards at a cost of approximately $15,800. The building has seen comprehensive infrastructure upgrades in 2022, including electrical system improvements with a 400-amp service upgrade, plumbing renovations including new bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and a sewer lateral and house trap replacement in 2016.

The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety improvements, including the installation of smoke detectors and various electrical system enhancements, such as replacing the three-meter panel and adding a 100-amp subpanel (2020). Safety-related incidents have been minimal, with only one recorded cooking fire that was confined to its container and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's surroundings have faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by several 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking violations, graffiti, and tree maintenance issues between 2018 and 2024, though these are primarily external neighborhood maintenance matters rather than building-specific issues. Recent infrastructure improvements suggest proactive property management, though residents should note an open sidewalk defect case from February 2022.

Risk rating

How 5024-5026 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
96th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 90 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.8%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 3.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
