Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 562 Belvedere St, owned by the Plautz/welsh 1999 Trust, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1956. In 2007-2008, substantial improvements were made, including the installation of new decks, landings, stairs at the rear of the building, and the replacement of rotted windows and kitchen cabinets in all four units, with associated costs totaling over $66,000. Additional work in 2007 addressed dry rot issues and added five skylights, while comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling was completed across multiple units, including gas line installations. The building had a plumbing violation in 2006 that was promptly addressed and resolved within three months.

More recent concerns include two sewer backup incidents reported in 2018-2019 through PUC Sewer Operations, both of which were resolved. The property has experienced some recurring issues with parking violations and several instances of tree-related problems in the vicinity, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The most recent permitted work on the property appears to be from 2008, with no major building modifications recorded in the past 15 years. The building's maintenance history shows active management and prompt response to necessary repairs and improvements, particularly during the 2007 renovation period.

Risk rating

How 562 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
49th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.8%
Moderate concern 18.8%
Severe concern 18.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
