Initial analysis

The property at 631-633 Masonic Ave, located in the Park North neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by the Marian O Ivan Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work involving kitchen and bathroom remodeling in the lower unit in 2015, including plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling $20,000. Earlier improvements included a comprehensive window replacement project in 2013 (20 windows) and substantial electrical system upgrades, including a new 200-amp underground service with three meters completed in 2008. The property has seen significant infrastructure improvements, including a complete plumbing repipe and new water service installation in 2011, installation of two tankless water heaters in 2010, and sewer line replacement work completed in 2008.

Recent maintenance and resident experience issues have primarily revolved around sewer and parking concerns. There have been two documented sewer-related incidents in 2022-2021, including a flooding incident in November 2022 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly regarding bicycle lane obstructions and sidewalk parking, with multiple reports filed between 2020-2023. While most of the building's historical records show proper maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, including roofing (1999), the frequency of sewer-related incidents in recent years and ongoing concerns about parking enforcement suggest these remain areas of attention for the property and surrounding neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 631-633 Masonic Ave'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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.3%
Moderate concern 18.7%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
