Sunnyside, SF 94112 3116028 3 units · 2 fl · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 597-599 Monterey Blvd rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 597-599 Monterey Blvd, built in 1924, currently owned by Ld Acquisition Co 16 LLC, contains 3 units and has a mixed-use configuration with commercial space. The property has undergone numerous significant modifications, particularly related to telecommunications installations and infrastructure. Recent improvements include two completed accessible business entry program installations in May 2024, addressing power door operator and threshold issues at a cost of $10,000. The building has seen extensive telecommunications-related work over the years, with the removal of legacy Sprint equipment in March 2023 and previous modifications to T-Mobile facilities, including antenna and conduit replacements. Major building maintenance occurred in 2015, including stucco repair and dry rot remediation work totaling over $32,000.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple Fire Code Violations issued between 2019 and 2024, and earlier issues with alarm systems in 2011 and 2016 that were subsequently corrected. While historical complaints from 2002 regarding unauthorized remodeling work in commercial spaces were resolved, more recent maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including sidewalk defects, overgrown trees, and graffiti. Recent violations noted in November 2024 pertain to sprinkler service and extinguisher maintenance requirements, though historical fire violations from 2019 and earlier have been abated. The property maintains active compliance with accessibility requirements through recent modifications and has demonstrated responsiveness to both building maintenance and fire safety issues, as evidenced by prompt completion of repairs and modifications when violations are issued.

Risk rating

How 597-599 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
20thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
