Initial analysis

The property at 1126-1128 Masonic Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, currently owned by Benita & Todd Sills. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work including a kitchen remodel in 2020 ($16,000) that involved new cabinets, lighting, and window replacement, along with a sewer replacement project in 2021. Historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep of critical systems, including a seismic retrofit and furnace replacement in 1993, deck repairs in 2016, and multiple electrical upgrades such as fuse panel replacements and kitchen renovations (2003-2005).

The building experienced a cluster of violations in January 2003, primarily related to safety equipment including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and gas shutoff tools, all of which were resolved by March 31, 2003. Since that time, the property has maintained a good compliance record, with regular inspections showing no active violations. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned parking issues and some external maintenance matters such as graffiti and a missing side sewer vent cover, though these are routine urban maintenance concerns. The property has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, including water/steam leaks, a gas leak, and a malfunctioning smoke detector, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1126-1128 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, 145 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.0%
Moderate concern 16.3%
Severe concern 9.6%
