601 Belvedere St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 601 Belvedere Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a 1-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by Scott & Amory Donohue. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a seismic safety retrofit in 2018 that reinforced cripple walls, floor supports, and wood frame connections.

Other notable improvements include comprehensive interior renovations in 2003 ($70,000), installation of new garages in 2004, and a series of plumbing upgrades including the installation of a direct vent gas fireplace (2016) and correction of drainage issues in 2009. The building experienced one notable violation in 2009 regarding improper rainwater drainage, which was promptly addressed and abated by June 2009.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (2024) and occasional graffiti incidents. An attempted permit for replacing an exterior wooden staircase in 2018 was cancelled, and various permits related to street space usage have been issued over the years. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2009 violation, and the current owners appear to have made regular investments in maintaining and upgrading the property infrastructure over the past two decades.
