1000-1004 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 1000 Masonic Ave in Haight Ashbury, built in 1904, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations from March 2022 regarding repair needs for weatherproofing on siding, stairs, roof deck safety, electrical panel issues, and egress obstructions, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. A recent complaint from August 2023 about a protruding window creating a sidewalk hazard is also currently active.

The building has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, with multiple false alarms and malfunction incidents documented between 2009 and 2021, though the fire alarm system was upgraded in 2021 to include low frequency sounders in sleeping areas and comply with current fire codes. Significant improvements have been made to the property, including the legalization of additional units and comprehensive unit renovations. In 2020-2021, Units 3 and 6 received substantial upgrades, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and electrical improvements.

The building completed its soft-story retrofit in compliance with city requirements. Multiple complaints in 2022 regarding heating systems, electrical wiring, and mold issues suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, though many of these issues were addressed through subsequent permits and repairs. The property has experienced two building fires, with the most recent incident in 2022 resulting in one civilian injury, and various fire safety violations have been recorded and generally addressed through corrective actions. The building's utility systems have seen major updates with the installation of new ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in 2020, and the property has received regular maintenance and upgrades to meet modern safety standards, though some active violations indicate areas requiring further attention.
