Initial analysis

1000 Mason Street is a 10-story, 53-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Fritz Property Group Inc and located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. The building has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, with significant work completed in individual units including Unit 301's recent bathroom remodel and lighting upgrades (2024), and previous renovations in Units 101, 205, and 302. A notable improvement to the building's infrastructure was the installation of a 65.4 kW roof-mounted PV system in 2022.

The property has experienced several fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented between 2018 and 2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, extinguisher placement, and alarm systems. Most recently, a violation was issued in December 2024 regarding highrise sprinkler system compliance. The building's fire alarm system is currently undergoing improvements, with a permit issued in January 2024 for adding notifications throughout residential units to comply with local fire codes. Recent complaints regarding the boiler permits in May 2023 have been resolved, though there remains an open violation from October 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The property has maintained regular unit renovations and system upgrades, though historically there have been issues with unauthorized plumbing modifications (notably in 2012), which were subsequently addressed.

Risk rating

How 1000 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.

Neighborhood percentile
2th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 1102 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.8%
Moderate concern 87.4%
Severe concern 5.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
