5050 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 15-unit, three-story apartment building at 5050 Fulton Street, owned by Gruber Family Partners, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1937. Most recently, in 2023, the building received a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with AB3.08 standards, including the addition of low-frequency sounders and emergency lighting improvements. The property has seen substantial unit improvements over the past decade, with multiple apartments undergoing comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, appliance upgrades, and electrical improvements.

Notable recent renovations include Unit 301's complete remodel in 2023 ($75,775), Unit 303's conversion work in 2022, and Unit 104's extensive upgrades in 2019. The building's infrastructure has also been maintained, with a new boiler and storage system installed in 2012. The property has experienced several issues requiring attention between 2001 and 2006, including complaints about window security and fire escape accessibility.

Three fire code violations were recorded in 2019, related to exits/obstructions, fire extinguishers, and emergency lighting, though these have since been abated. The building underwent a substantial tenant buyout in 2016 involving two tenants for $15,000. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned noise issues and debris on the property, with multiple reports of furniture left on the street and some noise complaints, though most have been resolved promptly. The property has maintained an active renovation schedule, with significant investments in unit improvements and safety systems, though the age of the building and its extensive history of modifications suggest ongoing maintenance requirements.
