Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 21-25 Belvedere Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by the Edward Litke Revocable Trust 1995, has undergone significant recent improvements in 2022 including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations (valued at $32,000), electrical rewiring of the entire unit, and plumbing upgrades, demonstrating a commitment to modernizing the property. A sewer replacement was completed in April 2021, and street space permits were issued in 2012, showing ongoing maintenance of public infrastructure. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2011 when serious problems were reported including mold/mildew, plumbing issues, and pest infestations, though these were addressed within approximately one month. Historical violations from 2000-2006 primarily concerned building maintenance and safety issues, including problems with garbage disposal, door security, interior surfaces, and exterior stairs, all of which have been resolved.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and environmental concerns, with multiple graffiti incidents on nearby public infrastructure reported in late 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The building has experienced three false fire alarm incidents in the past, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent routine building inspection in 2014 was completed without noted concerns, and there have been no significant resident complaints regarding building conditions in recent years, suggesting improved management and maintenance practices. However, it's worth noting that there have been recent construction-related noise complaints in September 2024, though they were investigated and no violations were found.

Risk rating

How 21-25 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
78th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 128 are predicted to be safer.
