Cole Valley/Parnassus Heights, SF 94117 1252007 4 units · 4 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 127-129 Belvedere St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1900

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 127-129 Belvedere Street, owned by Augustin Joshua Daniel, was constructed in 1900 in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the 2023 removal and replacement of a gas water heater. The building has seen substantial unit upgrades, including a $21,000 kitchen remodel in Unit A in 2018, which involved associated plumbing and electrical work. Historical maintenance issues were addressed between 2000-2011, including security upgrades to doors, fire safety improvements such as fire escape ladder repairs and smoke detector installations, and plumbing system maintenance. The building experienced termite treatment in 2007 and received various unit renovations in 2005, including extensive electrical work across all units involving the installation of numerous fixtures, switches, and receptacles.

The property has a documented history of routine housing inspections that identified various maintenance needs, all of which were subsequently addressed. These inspections in 2000, 2006, and 2011 focused on security, fire safety, and plumbing issues. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property in recent years (2020-2025) related to external matters such as graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, and parking enforcement, these were primarily street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building's maintenance record shows active management, with significant investment in unit improvements and systematic addressing of building codes and safety requirements over time. Notable historical documents include two tenant buyouts, one in 2018 for $45,000 and another in 2019 for $22,200, suggesting the building underwent tenant turnover periods during these transactions.

Risk rating

How 127-129 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
18thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 431 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
