1500-1508 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1500-1508 Mason Street in North Beach, owned by Mark Bernard, was constructed in 1908 and contains 6 units with ground floor retail space. The property has recently undergone several significant improvements, including a bathroom remodel and electrical system upgrade in late 2024, with the latter consisting of replacing Federal Pacific equipment, installing a 150-amp disconnect, new sub-panel, and breakers for all units. During the summer of 2024, the building's plumbing infrastructure was also updated with the installation of a new 40-gallon gas water heater in the kitchen.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both routine upkeep and significant improvements, though there have been some concerning issues requiring remediation. In 2015, the property was cited as a "nuisance" under the San Francisco Housing Code, with violations including peeling paint on the penthouse stairwell, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and several other safety-related concerns. These violations were abated by September 2015.

More recent issues include some plumbing problems in September 2024 with a sewer vent discharge incident and a garbage-related complaint in June 2024, both of which have been resolved. The building has also seen regular routine inspections over the years (1999, 2004, 2007, and 2015), indicating ongoing oversight of maintenance and compliance with housing codes. Recent complaints through the 311 system in 2024 have primarily focused on external issues such as illegal parking and sidewalk cleanliness, rather than internal building conditions.
