2153-2163 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2153-2163 Mason St in North Beach, owned by the Suzen Shoan Revoc Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1904. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 4) at a cost of $40,000, and more recently underwent extensive renovations in 2020 including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and furnace replacement in Unit 6, with all work properly permitted and completed totaling over $37,900. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2012, third-floor subpanel replacement, and complete sewer replacement in 2015.

Earlier maintenance included structural repairs to stairwells and porches in 2015, and reroofing in 2009. The building's history includes several routine inspections and some notable violations. In 2006, multiple fire safety issues were identified and subsequently abated, including problems with fire extinguishers and egress obstructions.

A 2009 complaint regarding peeling paint on the building's rear was addressed by July 2009. While there was a complaint in 2003 about unpermitted work, this was quickly resolved within three days. The property appears to be well-maintained in recent years, with no active building violations or complaints since 2009, and all required safety upgrades and repairs have been completed. The recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning issues outside the building, which have all been resolved by city services, though there is one open case regarding graffiti from November 2024.
