Initial analysis

487 Monterey Blvd is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Sunnyside neighborhood, owned by Ayoub Investments LLC. The building, constructed in 1946, consists of two stories and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The building's maintenance records show three significant plumbing updates in recent years, including a house trap replacement in 2022, and two gas houseline extensions in 2013 (one of which expired). A roofing project was completed in 1995, marking the only other significant structural work on record.

The property and its surroundings have experienced various maintenance and enforcement issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns relating to tree maintenance. Two tree-related complaints were logged in early 2023 regarding property damage and lifted sidewalk roots, with one of these still marked as open. There have been multiple reports of illegal parking on nearby sidewalks in 2023, though most were either resolved with citations or could not be validated by responding officers. Other neighborhood incidents include two graffiti cases in 2019 and early 2023 (both resolved), a waste management issue involving toters left out continuously in 2020, and a street cleaning request for waste removal in mid-2019. While the building itself has undergone some necessary infrastructure updates, particularly regarding plumbing systems, most recorded incidents relate to external factors affecting the immediate neighborhood rather than the building's condition or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 487 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.
