580-582 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 580-582 Belvedere Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by Wescott Family Trust, was constructed in 1939 and has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2022, the building received exterior upgrades including 600 square feet of Hardie Plank siding installation and window replacements ($20,000), and in 2021, a new 200-amp underground electrical service was installed. Previous major work included a complete reroofing project in 2018 ($12,000), window replacements in 2018 ($10,000), and Hardie Plank siding installation in 2016 ($8,000).

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, including a notable 2009 incident involving mold, rotted window frames, bathroom leaks, and deck safety concerns that were addressed by April 2009. Multiple routine housing inspections in 2009 and 2011 revealed various issues requiring attention, including fire safety concerns (fire extinguisher maintenance), security improvements (locking devices and self-closing doors), and roof repairs. More recent concerns include an unpermitted construction complaint in 2017 (which was marked as not active) and routine inspections in 2014 and 2011. The building's infrastructure has received periodic updates, including sewer trap replacement in 2009 and the most recent electrical service upgrade.

While there are several open 311 calls from 2024 related to graffiti and parking issues, these are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability. The property has a recorded history of various building violations and complaints, though all known violations have been marked as not active, with most being addressed through appropriate corrective actions. Historical records show earlier concerns about dry rot and termite damage in 1999, and earlier building violations from 1994-2011 time period mostly related to fire safety and security requirements. The building's owners have consistently made efforts to maintain and upgrade the property, as evidenced by numerous completed building permits and repairs over the years.
