670 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94127

The 12-unit apartment building at 670 Monterey Boulevard, owned by Miguel F & Joanne P Navarro, is a three-story structure built in 1964 and currently undergoing a significant $125,000 soft-story retrofit to improve seismic safety, with the permit issued in August 2023. The building has experienced several major maintenance and safety events over the years, most notably a fire incident in 2011 that required substantial repairs to Unit 6, including kitchen replacement, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work totaling $42,000.

Three fire safety complaints regarding blocked exits and fire escape concerns were filed in 2019 and 2023, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." The building faced serious habitability issues in February 2010, when multiple violations were documented, including inadequate heating, electrical problems, plumbing issues, and various interior surface problems, though these violations were all abated by May 2010. The property's recent maintenance history shows attention to building upkeep, including a reroofing project completed in 2020 ($22,000). Regular inspections have been conducted, with recurring issues related to tree maintenance and street lighting being reported in 2024.

Of particular note is the presence of multiple fire safety concerns over the years, including alarm system issues (2015, 2016, 2017), though these were generally addressed promptly. The building has undergone routine inspections and periodic maintenance work, with the most recent significant safety upgrade being the ongoing soft-story retrofit. The property has also been the site of some tenant distress moments, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints in 2007 and 2010 regarding heating and appliance problems, though these issues were typically resolved within a few months.
