Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1313-1315 Mason Street in Nob Hill, owned by John J Thrall, has a construction history dating back to 1909. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, including a $14,000 reroofing project completed in 2015, kitchen and flooring renovations in 1996, and various plumbing updates including water heater replacement in 2008. Notably, a recent complaint was filed in July 2023 alleging unauthorized window replacement and painting work, which is currently marked as active.

The property has experienced several code compliance issues, most notably in 2008 when multiple violations were documented regarding plumbing permits and water temperature requirements, though these were resolved by December 2008. An unauthorized fence installation complaint from 2003 was also addressed. Recent maintenance efforts include regular roof maintenance, with historical records showing multiple roof work permits in 1996 and 2015. The building's environment has seen recurring street cleaning needs, with multiple 311 calls for loose garbage between 2022 and 2024, though these are typical urban maintenance issues. The most recent building complaint regarding unauthorized work marks the first significant compliance issue in many years, following a period of generally regular maintenance and upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1313-1315 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.
