Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 176 Belvedere Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Andrew & Sarah Solomon Rvc, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1976. Most recently, in April 2023, the building received window upgrades with the installation of two new street-facing fiberglass casement windows at a cost of $20,000. However, there are some concerning issues that have emerged, particularly a water leak in May 2023 that was reported to be affecting the lobby ceiling and stairs, with allegations of mold formation. The building has a history of window-related work, including the replacement of multiple windows in 2000 and 2006, and a roof replacement in 2019 costing $27,000.

The property has undergone several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with notable violations recorded in 2000-2001 related to fire safety (fire extinguisher maintenance) and security (door viewer requirements) that were subsequently abated. A significant complaint regarding construction work was filed in 2006, alleging improper handling of window replacement work. More recently, a sewer backup issue was reported and resolved in December 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to upkeep, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2006 valued at $10,000, along with various minor repairs and improvements to common areas. While most violations and complaints have been addressed and resolved, the recent water leak issue and its implications for resident comfort and safety warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 176 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.
