495-499 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94112

The two-story multi-family residential building at 495-499 Monterey Boulevard, built in 1947, contains 3 residential units and has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over its history. Most recently, in 2024, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris near the property, as well as a pavement defect issue, though these were largely street-related matters.

In terms of building improvements, the property has seen substantial maintenance work, including a $7,800 reroofing project in 2021 and a $5,000 siding replacement project in 2017 that enhanced the building's exterior appearance. A 2013 gas houseline extension was also completed, indicating some infrastructure modernization. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2003, when multiple violations were documented through housing inspections.

These violations, which included inadequate lighting in public areas, an inoperable gas stove, plumbing problems, and the absence of smoke detectors, were all addressed and abated by October 2004. More recent history includes some controversy over a change of use for the commercial space, with a liquor store seeking to transition to a café in 2020, though this issue appears to have been resolved by early 2021. The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements since the 2003-2004 violations were addressed, with no new building violations recorded in recent years, and a single smoke detector activation incident was recorded as unintentional with no fire or injuries.
