Initial analysis

The property at 549-551 Monterey Boulevard is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Sunnyside neighborhood. Built in 1978 and currently owned by Deepinder Ghuman, the building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple safety and maintenance issues in recent years. Between 2020-2022, major improvements were made, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel on the second and third floors ($125,000), bathroom remodeling on the first floor ($13,000), window replacements, and other general improvements totaling approximately $150,000. The property faced several building violations in 2019-2020, including issues with rear stairway handrails, weatherstripping, and fence conditions, though these were marked as abated by March 2022. Notable complaints included concerns about roof drainage after a 2020 replacement (leading to a work without permit citation), concerns about rear stairs' structural soundness, and security issues regarding the front door lock mechanisms.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to vital systems, including furnace replacements and comprehensive plumbing work in 2011 and 2021, which involved remodeling multiple kitchens and bathrooms throughout the building. Earlier violations from 2015 noted issues with mold, bathroom ventilation, and gutter problems. The property manager has addressed most violations, although several recent 311 calls in 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with debris, parking issues, and sidewalk access problems in the vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 549-551 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, 43 are predicted to be safer.
