Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 139 Belvedere Street, situated in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats & duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the Judith Aliya Stein Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past three decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021, including water heater replacement and gas piping installation. A substantial restoration project was completed in 2014 to remove stucco and restore the Victorian facade, while the building had a notable fire incident in 2013 requiring repairs to stucco/plaster, windows, and the garage door. Historical records show the building has required various maintenance work over the years, including termite damage repair (1992), foundation raising (1986), and roof repairs due to fire damage (1986).

The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the early 2000s, with a notable complaint in 2002 regarding multiple problems including a leaking roof, damaged bathroom flooring, improperly functioning windows, dry rot, mold, and paint issues. In 2008-2010, the building faced violations related to lead-based paint concerns and chipping/peeling paint, which were subsequently abated. The building underwent a tenant buyout in June 2020, with two tenants receiving $75,000. More recently, there have been ongoing parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024 for blocking driveways and other parking violations, though these are external to the building itself. The property has also had some minor municipal service calls regarding street cleaning and graffiti removal, with relatively few complaints about the building's condition in the past decade compared to earlier periods.

Risk rating

How 139 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
68th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 168 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 64.5%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 21.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
