585 Monterey Blvd

Sunnyside, SF 94112 3116051 6 units · 2 fl · 1977

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 585 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1977
2 or more units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

Built 1977
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 two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 585 Monterey Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighborhood was built in 1977 and is currently owned by Steve & Irma Asti It Llc. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history, with the most recent being a $24,000 reroofing project completed in 2021. The property has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, including violations related to fire safety (such as fire extinguisher maintenance and fire escape obstructions), building code compliance (garage ceiling repairs and handrail installations), and security requirements (self-closing door devices). These violations were ultimately resolved, with most being abated by December 2000.

Recent records from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance issues outside the building, particularly concerning tree maintenance and garbage cleanliness in the surrounding area. The building also has a notable history regarding short-term rentals, with violations in 2021 related to illegal short-term rentals through VRBO, though these listings have since been removed. A tenant buyout occurred in June 2021 involving one tenant and totaling $18,230.2, while a water-related fire incident has been recorded though details are limited. The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with the most recent documented inspection occurring in February 2011, suggesting the property has been relatively stable in terms of major violations since the early 2000s.

Risk rating

How 585 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
46thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 70 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Number of units

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

Building size

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