Initial analysis

The property at 1024-1026 Masonic Avenue is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, classified as a flats and duplex structure, containing two units and currently owned by the Alexander Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring in late 2013 when comprehensive interior improvements were made to the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room of the lower unit, along with electrical upgrades including new circuits, lighting, appliances, and smoke detectors. During the same period, important structural work was completed including foundation repairs and window replacements not visible from the street, with all renovation work totaling approximately $125,000. The building has a history of roof maintenance, with multiple reroofing projects documented in 1995-1999, though these records are now expired.

The property and its immediate surroundings have experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with more recent concerns including reports of human or animal waste (April 2021), graffiti (November 2020), and noise complaints related to garbage collection (April and September 2020). The building's location in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood has exposed it to typical urban challenges such as sidewalk parking violations (August 2019) and defaced street signage (March 2019). The most recent documented building permit activity was in 2015, related to the final inspection of the 2013 plumbing renovations, indicating that major systems updates have been completed. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, the significant improvements made in 2013 demonstrate investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure and living spaces.

Risk rating

How 1024-1026 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 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 157 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.1%
Moderate concern 18.3%
Severe concern 32.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
