1363-1365 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1363-1365 Masonic Avenue in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1904, has undergone significant renovations and faced major challenges over its history. Most notably, in 2012, the building experienced a series of fire-related incidents requiring substantial repairs, including fire damage restoration ($40,000), water damage recovery from firefighting efforts ($20,000), and the removal and installation of various fixtures ($65,000).

The property has seen important infrastructure improvements, including a sewer repair completed in 2015, seismic upgrades completed in 1990, and various safety enhancements such as smoke detector installations and electrical system updates in 2012. Despite its age, the building has maintained upgrades like aluminum windows installation in 1990 and a roof replacement, though the permit for the latter expired without confirmation of completion. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk parking violations, garbage debris, and pavement defects, with the latest pavement defect being recorded as open in January 2025.

There was also an attempted variance application for a third dwelling unit without off-street parking, which was disapproved. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and compliance with city regulations, though the concentration of street-related issues in the immediate vicinity has increased, particularly regarding parking enforcement and sidewalk cleanliness. The property has maintained internal safety systems, as evidenced by the installation of marijuana detectors and electrical upgrades, and has no recorded history of civilian injuries from fire incidents.
