Sunnyside, SF 94112 3117053 2 units · 2 fl · 1987

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.

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1987
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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-unit residential building at 445 Monterey Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1987, currently owned by Chan Chuen Yi & Shiu Yee &. The building's maintenance history includes a significant roofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $14,750. The property has experienced several minor street-related issues in recent years, including defaced parking signs in April 2022 (one of which was closed as a duplicate), an unverified report of sidewalk parking in October 2018, and a pavement defect reported in July 2018. An abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2017 was resolved when the vehicle left the area shortly after the report.

Historical planning records indicate that the property was once associated with a larger development proposal for a 14-unit condominium project at the 445-447 Monterey Boulevard address, though this appears to have been ultimately resolved or withdrawn as there are no current development notes. The building's documented history shows regular municipal interactions primarily related to street maintenance and parking issues, with no recorded violations or safety incidents directly related to the building's structure or systems. The most recent building maintenance activity on record remains the 2011 reroofing project, which suggests that no major structural work has been required in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 445 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
49thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 66 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
