425 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 425 Monterey Boulevard in Sunnyside is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, containing 3 units with a storefront, currently owned by Chu Seak Hoi & Vong Ut Hong. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the years. Notably, there was a substantial period of concerns regarding building conditions in 2000-2001, including multiple housing code violations related to security, heating, electrical systems, and window repairs, all of which were ultimately abated by January 2001.

During this time, there were serious habitability concerns documented, including inadequate heating, security issues, and various maintenance problems in the units. In more recent years, the building has undergone less contentious modifications, with work in 2018 focusing on obtaining final inspections for previously approved permits, including the legalization of a rear exterior door modification. There have been several significant complaints regarding unauthorized conversions between commercial and residential spaces, including a 2014 complaint about illegal conversion of ground floor space and a 2001 complaint about unpermitted construction work, though these cases were marked as not active.

The property recently experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024, with several reports of sidewalk parking violations, though these are more related to public space management than building conditions. The commercial space portion of the property has been subject to various complaints and regulatory scrutiny, including a 2018 complaint about a vacant storefront and a historical complaint in 2000 regarding a dog training/boarding business in a residential area. A tenant buyout was recorded in June 2018 for $26,000, involving one tenant.
