Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1465 Masonic Ave in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2019, with the most substantial work being a comprehensive remodel completed in 2019-2020 that included major expansions, new garage entrance, deck addition, and attic conversion. Recent safety improvements include the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2023 (with subsequent monitoring system installation in 2024), and the building has received thorough electrical upgrades with new electrical installations for all units and common areas completed in April 2024. The property has experienced some maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple reports of sewage back-up discharges from the side sewer vent in December 2024, and two building complaints from August 2023 regarding unauthorized dirt dumping that temporarily blocked a neighbor's driveway.

The building's recent history reflects substantial modernization efforts, including the installation of radiant heating systems and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels. While there was a fire exit blockage issue in 2015 that was promptly corrected, no recent fire safety concerns have been reported. The property has undergone extensive plumbing work in 2023-2024, including the installation of new shower facilities and comprehensive bathroom and kitchen updates. The 2019-2020 renovation project, which totaled approximately $962,000, represents the most significant investment in the building's recent history, followed by the 2023 fire safety improvements valued at $71,200.

Risk rating

How 1465 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 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 267 are predicted to be safer.
