Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 43 Belvedere Street in Haight Ashbury, built in 1908, has undergone significant renovations in recent years. Most notably, from 2023 to 2024, substantial interior improvements were completed including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in two units ($125,000 combined), window replacements on the first floor ($8,000), and a new roof installation ($18,000). The building received essential infrastructure updates with a sewer lateral replacement and house trap installation in 2015, furnace repair, and gas line relocation completed in mid-2024, indicating ongoing maintenance of critical systems.

The property has experienced several construction-related complaints between 2023-2024, including reports of unauthorized flooring work in March 2024 and concerns about construction scope in January 2024, though these issues were addressed and the permits for legitimate renovations were subsequently documented. A significant plumbing and electrical upgrade was completed during the 2023-2024 renovations, including the installation of a 100-amp subpanel and multiple new electrical receptacles and lighting fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent roof replacement being the third documented reroofing since 1993. While there was one building violation in 2010 regarding a broken window pane that was promptly addressed, no active violations are currently noted. The property has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance and debris removal in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2024 and 2023, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 43-45 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.
