Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2160-2162 Mason Street in North Beach, owned by the Lisa Ricardo Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925. The property's maintenance history shows several significant infrastructure upgrades, including a street space permit in 2016 and a reroofing project in 2015 costing $9,600. An important electrical system upgrade was completed in 2004, involving the installation of two panels, one feeder, and a new service upgrade with two meters/main.

The property has experienced recurring challenges with street and sidewalk conditions in recent years, particularly between 2020-2024. There have been multiple incidents requiring cleaning interventions, including reports of human waste or urine in October 2024, as well as general garbage issues in late 2021. A missing side sewer vent cover was reported and addressed in October 2021. More recent incidents include a driveway blocking issue in May 2023, paint shop service request in May 2022, and various general cleaning needs documented between 2020-2024. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrades have been undertaken, including the most recent reroofing work, though the frequency of sidewalk and street-related service calls indicates ongoing environmental challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2160-2162 Mason 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.
