1376-1378 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1376-1378 Masonic Avenue is a multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, currently under the ownership of Martin & Julie L Richards. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the past years, most notably a major garage project that commenced in August 2021 with an estimated cost of $220,000, involving excavation for a deeper garage, widening the garage door, and connecting the garage to unit #2.

This project has seen multiple revisions, with the most recent modification in October 2023 reducing the scope of work to only widening the garage for improved access, with a revised cost of $2,000. The building's history includes various maintenance and improvement works such as bathroom remodeling in 2014 (completed with plumbing updates), replacement of a French door in 2017, and security improvements in 2018 with the replacement of a gate in the breezeway. Earlier improvements from 2002 included the installation of two gas fireplaces.

The property has faced some environmental and infrastructure challenges recently, with open cases as of 2024 including a tree root issue damaging the sidewalk and a collapsed sidewalk condition reported in 2022. Multiple 311 calls related to parking issues and sidewalk maintenance have been recorded between 2021 and 2024, though most have been resolved. Additionally, there was a variance approved to legalize a third dwelling unit on the ground floor without providing an additional off-street parking space, indicating an increase in the building's residential capacity.
