Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 716-718 Masonic Avenue, built in 1912, is currently owned by the Mary Erikson Ishisaki Revoc and consists of 2 units. The property has experienced significant recent events, most notably a fire in December 2023 that caused structural damage and rendered the building uninhabitable, with resulting water damage throughout the structure. In response to the fire, permits were issued in March 2024 for the removal of asbestos and lead structural materials, with an associated cost of $90,000. The building has undergone several improvements and repairs over its history, including furnace replacements and duct work in 2020 to replace asbestos-wrapped ducts in the garage, and multiple renovation projects in the early 1990s addressing dry rot, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and earthquake-related stucco and brick repairs.

The property has been the subject of multiple maintenance and service calls in recent months, including several water leak incidents (October and November 2024), multiple graffiti reports (September to December 2024), and general service requests that have mostly been resolved. An electrical meter release for re-energy was issued in January 2025, indicating some progression towards restoration. While the building has undergone various improvements over the years, the recent fire incident and subsequent permits for asbestos and lead material removal represent the most significant recent event affecting the property. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 1997 and various system upgrades, though many of the earlier permits from the 1990s are now expired.

Risk rating

How 716-718 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.
