5432-5434 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 5432-5434 Fulton St is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood and owned by Kimberly Y Wu. Built in 1926, this flats-style building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over its history. Notable events include a series of building violations and renovation projects in 2002, when the property was cited for multiple fire safety issues such as the need for automatic sprinklers, smoke enclosure doors, and addressing combustible storage.

These violations also included repairs to stairs that were subsequently documented in permits. During this same period, substantial improvements were made including the legalization of additional bathrooms and laundry areas, along with the installation of a ground floor sprinkler system ($8,000) and electrical service upgrade to 200 amps. In 2008, the building required repairs to address dry rot in rear exterior stairs, costing $5,000. More recent history shows regular complaints and maintenance issues, though none appear directly related to the building's safety infrastructure.

The property has had several 311 calls in 2024 regarding external issues such as flooding, garbage, illegal parking, and sidewalk blockage, though these are mostly municipal matters not directly tied to the building's condition. The most recent documented building-specific issue was a structural maintenance call in July 2024, which was resolved. A single fire-related incident is recorded, though it was classified as a false alarm with no civilian injuries. The building's documented history suggests that while it has experienced regular maintenance needs typical of its age and structure type, there have been no recent major safety violations or systemic infrastructure issues within the building itself, with most recent complaints relating to external factors rather than building conditions.
