27-31 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 27-31 Belvedere Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Belvedere27 LLC, has undergone substantial renovations and faced several challenges since its construction in 1900. The property has experienced significant improvements in recent years, with major remodeling projects completed in 2022 and 2019, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades, window replacements, and the addition of new bathrooms and laundry facilities. The building's infrastructure received attention with new electrical work in 2022 including installation of numerous fixtures and appliances, and a furnace replacement. However, the property has faced several concerning issues, particularly in 2020 when Unit 29 experienced multiple problems including lack of heat, defective vents, and reports of mold and pest infestations, leading to a series of violations that were eventually abated.

Historical records show earlier concerns from 2000-2001 related to safety features such as handrails and fire safety equipment, all of which have been resolved. More recent complaints include a noise complaint in early 2023 regarding construction work and a sewer line issue in 2023, though these appear to be resolved. The building underwent exploratory demolition in 2018 and work continued through 2022, with multiple permits showing substantial investment in upgrading the property, including a $120,000 renovation in 2022. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by the 311 calls, though these are primarily related to external conditions rather than building systems.

The building's recent history suggests ongoing investment in improvements, with current records showing attention to both interior and exterior maintenance. The most pressing recent issues appear to be confined to external factors such as noise and sanitation concerns in the immediate vicinity, rather than structural or safety problems within the building itself. The extensive renovation work, including multiple completed permits totaling over $230,000 in recent years, indicates active management and maintenance of the property, though there have been periods of significant construction work that impacted residents as noted in recent complaints. The building's age and historic status as a flats and duplex structure have necessitated ongoing updates to maintain modern standards while preserving historical elements.
