655-657 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 655-657 Masonic Avenue in the Park North neighborhood, constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Frances Campra, has a documented history of structural issues and violations, with the most significant event being a fire incident in 1991 that required repairs to the second-floor plaster and hardwood floors. In 1992-1993, there were maintenance activities addressing dry rot in the front entrance stucco wall and the installation of a fire-retardant deck with railings.

More recently, in February 2017, a complaint was filed regarding unsafe stairs, though this issue was abated by March 2017. The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk parking, with eight documented incidents between October 2023 and December 2024, though most violations could not be validated or resulted in only verbal warnings, with one citation issued in December 2023.

There was also an incident of graffiti reported on the building in July 2024, which was not responded to by the Department of Public Works within the typical response timeframe. While the frequency of parking violations suggests ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity, the building's major structural and safety issues appear to have been addressed promptly when they occurred, with no active violations or complaints recorded since March 2017.
