Initial analysis

The Ushanoff Family Living Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Built in 1906, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years. Most notably, recent upgrades include a comprehensive plumbing overhaul in 2024 involving new laundry and bathroom installations, a 2021 gas system update, sewer replacement, and HVAC improvements with a new high-efficiency furnace installation in 2018. Electrical work has included the installation of multiple outlets in 2004 and 2010, with the most recent change of address documentation completed in 2010. The property shows consistent maintenance history, with the most recent roofing work permitted in January 2025 costing $13,800.

The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, with several complaints about illegal parking and sidewalk blocking between 2020 and 2024. There have been four street cleaning-related complaints between 2021 and 2023, including instances of overflowing city garbage cans, and multiple reports of illegal postings and graffiti in 2023. While these exterior maintenance issues have occurred, they primarily relate to public street conditions rather than the building itself, which has maintained active permit usage for regular upkeep and improvements. The property's permit history reveals a pattern of proactive maintenance, with records showing attention to major systems including plumbing, electrical, and roofing throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 1118-1120 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.
