715-721 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 715-721 Monterey Blvd in the Sunnyside neighborhood is a two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927. The building's history reveals several significant events, with the most notable being a violation case from 2006-2008 involving the illegal conversion of a commercial storage room into a residential unit and unauthorized interior remodeling that prompted abatement proceedings. A 2008 resolution allowed for the washer/dryer installation in the dining area, and subsequent renovations included various upgrades to electrical systems and plumbing.

The building underwent substantial electrical improvements in 2006, with an upgrade to a 400-amp service with 6 meters, and multiple permit activities between 2007-2018 involving general maintenance, hallway improvements, and lighting upgrades. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with infrastructure. There are currently several open 311 calls from 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, overgrown trees, and curb issues.

Building complaints from 2015 indicated unauthorized electrical and sheetrock work, and there have been multiple reports over the years regarding unpermitted construction activities, including in 2011 when there were complaints about work being done in the garage. Notably, a recent investigation revealed possible illegal short-term rentals (Airbnb) activity at the property, which led to enforcement action in 2022 requiring the owner to cease such activities. The property has experienced recurring issues with unpermitted modifications and infrastructure maintenance, as evidenced by multiple complaint filings and permits for repairs and upgrades to address various building systems.
