Initial analysis

The property at 42-46 Belvedere Street, built in 1904, is a 3-story multi-family residential building containing 6 units in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, currently owned by Sam R & Diana H Hunt Trust. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with the most recent completed work in 2023 including a comprehensive unit remodel featuring new kitchen cabinets, appliances, countertops, bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades, and a new heating system at a cost of $95,000. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrading of its systems, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 2013, solar panel installation in 2013 (13.72kw total rating), and multiple unit renovations between 2017-2018 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, new heating systems, and electrical work.

Historical issues included several building violations from 2006-2010, mostly related to fire safety and building maintenance, though all were resolved by 2011. There were some significant concerns raised in 2012 regarding unpermitted basement work impacting the building's foundation, though these complaints were addressed promptly. Recent activity has primarily consisted of maintenance and street-related issues, with several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and graffiti in the vicinity of the building, though none of these directly relate to building safety or maintenance concerns. The property has maintained an active upgrading schedule over the past decade, focusing on modernizing units while addressing previous safety and maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 42-46 Belvedere 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
