Initial analysis

The building at 172-174 Belvedere Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residence located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Curt B & Katherine L Patter and constructed in 1906. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, including kitchen remodels in 1986 and 2003 (the latter involving new cabinets, electrical work, and a sub-panel installation), as well as reroofing work in 1997 and street space/sidewalk repairs in 2010. A notable sequence of events occurred in 2003 when sewage issues were reported in the bathroom, followed by multiple violations in 2009 related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance, including problems with fire extinguishers, combustible storage, self-closing doors, handrails, and stairs; all these violations were addressed and abated by January 2010.

More recent history shows regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2007, 2009, and 2014, with no current violations on record. The property has seen various municipal interactions as recorded in 311 calls between 2016 and 2024, primarily related to sidewalk conditions, street cleaning, and encampment issues in the vicinity. Notably, there was a variance approved for rear yard construction work, including a new deck and stairway replacement that extends 31 feet from the rear property line. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues and violations in the past, recent records indicate these have been resolved, and there are no active violations or complaints as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 172-174 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.
