174 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 174 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside, owned by Mark & Eileen Foti, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant updates and inspections over the years. Most notably, in January 2024, the building underwent a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an updated fire panel, with work completed in early February 2024. The building has a history of proactive maintenance and compliance, with all identified fire safety violations from a 2001 inspection being promptly addressed within two months, including items such as fire extinguisher maintenance, gas shutoff tool requirements, and garage storage issues.

Recent maintenance needs addressed include several sewer backup incidents reported between 2021-2024, suggesting ongoing plumbing/system maintenance requirements. The building's inspection history shows regular oversight, with routine inspections documented in 1996, 1999, 2001, 2007, and 2010, all of which were resolved. The property has experienced minimal recent issues, with the most recent concerns primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning matters.

Two tenant buyouts have been recorded in the vicinity, at 32 Hearst Avenue in 2017 and 171 Monterey Boulevard in 2022, though these are unrelated to the subject building. The property's documented history suggests active management, with regular updates to safety systems and prompt response to maintenance issues, particularly regarding fire safety compliance and building systems maintenance. The most recent significant improvements focus on fire safety systems and compliance with current safety standards, indicating a commitment to maintaining the building's safety infrastructure.
