481 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

481 Belvedere Street is a three-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Stonemint LLC. The property has undergone substantial renovations and safety upgrades over the past several years, with the most recent being a fire alarm system upgrade completed in October 2024 to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has successfully completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit, achieving See Completion Status (CFC) certification, and has undergone multiple unit renovations including comprehensive updates to Units 1, 2, 3, and 5 between 2016 and 2019, featuring kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and new HVAC systems. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and infrastructure improvements, including a 2016 fire system replacement, various plumbing upgrades, and electrical improvements.

The property has faced some compliance issues in the past, including a 2021 violation notice regarding incomplete soft-story work (which has since been resolved), and there was one instance in 2018 of unauthorized construction work in Unit 5. Historical violations from 2000-2021 related to fire safety, egress, and security were all properly abated. Recent 311 calls indicate typical urban maintenance issues including sewage discharge (October 2024), sidewalk defects (2022), and utility service matters, though these are generally routine for buildings of this age and type.
