2255-2257 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 2255-2257 Mason Street property, located in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Leon and Isabel Pak. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including multiple bathroom remodels in 2019 (Units 3 and 4) and 2017 (Unit 5), as well as reroofing work completed in 2017 at a cost of $15,000. A UL300 fire suppression system upgrade was performed in 2009, demonstrating attention to safety systems.

However, the building has experienced several concerning incidents over its history, including a series of fire safety violations in 2005-2015 related to smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and wood stairs repairs, all of which were eventually abated. More recently, there were complaints in 2019 regarding illegal after-hours construction work and associated noise issues. A 2014 complaint resulted in notifications regarding lead paint hazards, and in 2022, there were fire alarm system-related complaints that were corrected.

The building's recent history (2020-2023) has seen multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and sidewalk cleanliness issues, though these are more related to the surrounding area than the building's condition itself. The property has maintained active permits for various building improvements, including recent bathroom upgrades and plumbing work. While the historical violations and complaints indicate past safety concerns, many have been resolved, though periodic issues with construction hours and building maintenance have occurred. The presence of multiple recent 311 calls about the surrounding area suggests there may be ongoing challenges with street cleanliness and parking, though these are not directly related to the building's condition.
