1553-1557 Mason St, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-unit residential building at 1553-1557 Mason Street in Russian Hill, owned by the Sylvia Jue Toy Revocable Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, including a $7,000 roofing project completed in 2015 and a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel of one unit completed in 2004 with an associated electrical upgrade.

A notable cluster of housing violations was recorded in December 2009, when a routine safety inspection identified multiple fire safety issues including concerns with the central alarm system, fire escape ladder, fire extinguishers, and stairs - all of which were resolved by January 2010. The building has been subject to regular safety inspections every few years, with the most recent being in 2015, and showing no active violations since the 2009 incident.

In the past year, there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity of the building, particularly regarding abandoned vehicles and blocked driveways, though most of these were either resolved quickly or officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property management has also addressed recent rent control issues, with two customer callback cases in early 2024 regarding fee adjustments and housing inventory matters, which were resolved with updated unit count and fee corrections. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both building systems and safety requirements, with no recurring or persistent violations in recent years.
