553-555 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 553-555 Belvedere Street, owned by Belvedere Sfca Llc, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit (Tier 3) in compliance with San Francisco Building Code requirements, with the Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, resolving a compliance issue that had persisted since 2021.

The property has seen substantial unit improvements, including a $37,000 studio apartment remodel in 2020 (kitchen and bath), comprehensive rewiring and electrical upgrades in 2021 (including a new 50-amp circuit breaker panel), plumbing renovations, and various maintenance and upgrade works between 2011-2022. Historical records indicate some building violations from 2000 related to gas meter safety and handrail requirements, though these were abated by May 2001. A complaint about unpermitted structural work in 2019 was investigated but is now listed as not active.

The building has experienced several parking-related incidents in 2024, with multiple citations issued for illegal parking and blocked driveways, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. A cooking-related fire incident was recorded but was confined to a container with no civilian injuries reported. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and significant investment in safety improvements, particularly through the completion of the soft-story retrofit program.
