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 Notable historical documents include two tenant buyouts, one in 2018 for $45,000 and another in 2019 for $22,200, suggesting the building underwent tenant turnover periods during these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

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
18th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 431 are predicted to be safer.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.5%
Moderate concern 33.9%
Severe concern 17.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
