Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 435 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside, constructed in 1987, has experienced several notable events over its history. Most recently, in June 2021, there was a complaint filed regarding unauthorized landscaping work involving retaining walls and stairs in the backyard, though this complaint is currently not active. The building's records show some concerning patterns related to parking violations, with multiple reports between 2021-2023 regarding vehicles blocking sidewalks and driveways, though these incidents could not always be validated upon inspection. The property has also faced some maintenance issues, with reports of overgrown trees (opened August 2024) and a damaged/fallen tree incident in August 2022, both requiring municipal intervention.

Historical records reveal some structural work in the year 2000 when a violation warning was resolved through the replacement of a retaining wall, costing $6,000. Earlier in the building's history, in 1985, there were records of demolition work and other permits, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data. The property has experienced occasional municipal service requests, including an overflowing city garbage can in 2020, street defects in 2023, and an abandoned vehicle report in 2017, all of which were resolved through appropriate channels. While most recent complaints and service requests have been addressed and resolved, the pattern of parking-related issues and ongoing tree maintenance needs may be particular points of interest for current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 435 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.
