163-167 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 163-167 Belvedere Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by Belvedere SF Property LLC, has undergone substantial renovations and improvements over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a partial foundation replacement of the common wall at the front section of the building, which was completed at a cost of $8,000. The property underwent significant interior upgrades between 2022-2023, including a comprehensive renovation of kitchens and bathrooms across units ($75,000 each), electrical system overhauls with panel upgrades and installation of LED lighting, and plumbing improvements including water heater installations and furnace replacement.

These renovations also involved removing an attic bathroom, interior wall modifications on level three, and chimney removal in the basement. The building's electrical system received particular attention, with multiple permits issued for panel upgrades, wiring improvements, and installation of recessed lighting throughout the units. Historically, the building has experienced various maintenance issues, with some requiring attention from Housing Inspection Services, including handrail installation and fire safety improvements, though all violations have been marked as "Not Active" after correction.

A fire complaint regarding combustible materials was filed and resolved in December 2018. The building has seen some infrastructure challenges in recent years, particularly with sewer issues, evidenced by two complaints about sewage backup in 2020 and 2021, and multiple 311 calls regarding exterior maintenance, including issues with garbage and debris. The property has undergone regular inspections every few years, with the most recent routine inspection noted in October 2014 showing no active violations. The extensive recent renovations and ongoing maintenance suggest proactive property management, though the building's age (constructed in 1900) and mixed history of maintenance issues warrant continued attention to building systems and infrastructure.
