Sunnyside, SF 94131 3118031 3 units · 2 fl · 1946

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.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 383-385 Monterey Blvd rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1946
2 or more units

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 1946
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

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-story multi-family residential building at 383-385 Monterey Blvd in the Sunnyside neighborhood is owned by Trong & Sommay Chanthavikij and was constructed in 1946. This three-unit structure experienced a series of significant maintenance issues in late 2003, when multiple building violations were documented in a single complaint filed on November 17, 2003. These violations, all of which were abated by December 23, 2003, included problems with a malfunctioning doorbell, floor coverings in the kitchenette area, fire safety concerns with the fire extinguisher and egress obstructions, plumbing issues including toilet/drain repairs, electrical problems with an open junction box, window frame repairs needed in Unit A, and concerns about shaky and vibrating back wooden stairs/fire escape ladder. The building underwent some improvements in July 2003, including window replacements and kitchen cabinet and floor tile work, valued at $8,000.

Since 2020, the property has experienced several external maintenance and safety incidents, though none appear to directly reflect on the building's internal conditions. These include multiple reports of hazardous materials (liquids) in September 2020, various garbage and cleaning issues (including Christmas tree removal) in 2020-2021, and instances of graffiti in September 2020. More recent history shows minimal building-related issues, with the most recent complaint involving sidewalk parking in June 2024. The property has had five fire-related incidents recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries or major damage - these included confined cooking fires, alarm activations, and smoke detector tests, suggesting routine kitchen-related incidents rather than serious fire hazards.

Risk rating

How 383-385 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
37thpercentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 81 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
