Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 13-17 Belcher Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in May 2023, approximately 135 feet of sewer lateral was replaced from the back of the property to the curb, representing a significant infrastructure upgrade. The building has seen consistent attention to its structural elements, including a front staircase repair in 2009 ($7,000) and earlier stair repairs and replacements in 2001. Other major maintenance work includes reroofing projects in both 1990 and 2005 ($9,000 each), window replacements in 2003, and chimney repairs.

The property underwent a significant period of violations in December 2000, when multiple issues were documented including concerns about lead paint hazards, stair and handrail conditions, window maintenance, fire safety equipment, and interior surfaces. These violations were addressed and officially abated by April 2002, with subsequent routine housing inspections in 2010 and 2014 showing improved conditions. While there have been occasional maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including sewage backup (2021), and various cleaning concerns, these have generally been resolved promptly. The building's most recent plumbing work (2023) and lack of active violations suggest that major outstanding maintenance issues have been addressed, though typical urban environmental challenges such as graffiti and waste management have been documented in the surrounding area through 311 reports.

Risk rating

How 13-17 Belcher 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
40th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 172 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.3%
Moderate concern 20.2%
Severe concern 30.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
