1135 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

This three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located at 1135 Masonic Ave in Haight Ashbury was built in 1905 and is currently owned by Maissa Chouraki. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a $36,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021-2022 that added low-frequency sounders and replaced the fire alarm control panel, as well as the installation of an annunciator by the entrance in response to SFFD inspector's request. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2014, converting ground floor walls to shear walls with plywood sheathing, which was classified as Tier 3 work under San Francisco's soft-story retrofit program.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues and safety concerns over its history. A notable incident occurred in September 2019 when Unit 4 on the first floor experienced water damage following a flood, resulting in temporary floor removal and concerns about rotting windows. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a main sewer line replacement in 2008 and an electrical grounding upgrade in 2015.

While there have been multiple fire safety complaints regarding alarm systems and extinguishers between 2016 and 2024, most were either found to have no merit or were corrected, with the exception of a violation issued in December 2022 regarding the alarm system that was abated in February 2023. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection filed in February 2023 currently marked as active. Recent service records from 2024 show multiple 311 calls regarding street-level issues such as garbage, debris, and graffiti, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The property has a documented history of housing complaints dating back to 2000, including issues with stairs, walls, plumbing, and electrical systems, all of which were ultimately resolved by 2001.
