Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 715-721 Monterey Blvd'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 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 97 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.4%
Moderate concern 27.1%
Severe concern 36.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
