1308 Masonic Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1308 Masonic Avenue in Buena Vista Park, owned by the Meislin 1999 Family Trust, was constructed in 1895 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent notable work being a $24,000 reroofing project completed in 2022 and a $100,000 soft-story upgrade in 2021 to enhance seismic safety. In 2014-2016, substantial renovations were performed in Unit #3, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel, along with comprehensive electrical and plumbing updates.

There was an attempt to add a new unit in 2016, which was ultimately withdrawn, along with associated variances. Historical records show the building has addressed various maintenance issues, including dry rot repairs in the 1990s and skylight/window installations in 2014. The property had some safety and maintenance concerns in the early 2000s, including fire escape maintenance and security device requirements, though all these violations were promptly abated by March 2003.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street maintenance and parking issues, with some ongoing concerns about sidewalk tree root damage and pavement defects. While there have been several code-related inquiries and service requests in 2024, these are mostly routine issues such as waste management, parking enforcement, and noise complaints, suggesting the building's major systems have been properly maintained in recent years. The most recent building-related permits indicate regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with particular attention to seismic safety and unit maintenance.
