This two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 24 Belcher Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Lin Derek Julius, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1974. Most recently, in June 2024, the building received a mandatory lateral upgrade wood frame retrofit, including the addition of shear walls and Simpson SMFS, at a cost of $30,000. In 2019, the building underwent foundation work to address concerns related to neighboring construction at 20-22 Belcher, costing $25,000.

The property has a documented history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including a comprehensive renovation of Unit #5 in 2007 that included bathroom updates, new tiles, cabinets, and compliance with energy codes, along with the installation of new roofing in 2009. The building experienced some safety-related violations in August 2002, including issues with fire safety systems and egress obstructions, though these were all promptly resolved by October 2002. More recently, there was an "unsafe building" complaint filed in April 2019, which was addressed by September 2021.

The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent occurring in 2014. Historical maintenance issues included roof leaks documented in complaints from 1995-1996 and 2009, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent exterior maintenance concerns were primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning matters, as evidenced by 311 calls, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2021-2024 and occasional reports of waste on or near the property. The building's structural integrity has been maintained through appropriate permit applications and resolutions to various maintenance issues over the years, with particular attention paid to seismic safety through recent retrofit work.
