770 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94127

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 770 Monterey Blvd in the Sunnyside neighborhood was built in 1954 and is currently owned by Leong K & Wai Sui Wong Exem. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, with significant events including repairs to rear stairs due to dry rot in 1997, reroofing in 1996, and a major compliance update in 1985. A concerning pattern of violations emerged in 2010 when the building was designated as a "nuisance" under Section 1001-d of the San Francisco Housing Code, with multiple violations related to paint conditions, including lead hazard concerns, weatherproofing, and general maintenance issues.

This followed earlier violations in 2003 related to wooden stairs and decks, and in 2000 involving fire extinguisher maintenance. While all these violations were eventually abated, they suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. More recently, from 2023-2024, there have been several infrastructure and maintenance concerns reported through 311 calls, including issues with property-damaging trees, sidewalk defects, and garbage management problems.

Of particular note in 2024, there were multiple reports about tree roots lifting sidewalks, though these remain open as of the latest updates. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with all issues ultimately resolved, though the frequency of routine inspections and subsequent violations suggests a history of periodic maintenance challenges that required attention. The most recent building-related works before the current complaints involve exterior maintenance issues focusing on weatherproofing and paint conditions.
