Initial analysis

Located in Sunnyside, 262 Monterey Blvd is a three-unit, one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Tom Lee. The property has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most current active complaints (as of January 2024) citing concerns about water damage, inoperable windows, ventilation problems, and various appliance malfunctions including a broken oven and dishwasher. A cluster of building violations from October 2022, which have continued to remain active, documented problems with the building's heating system, front stairway, guardrails, and bathroom ventilation. Recent improvements include an issued permit from March 2024 for window replacement at the front of the building, following an active violation from 2022 regarding wooden window sash repairs. The property has a history of various structural and maintenance issues, including plumbing problems in 2012, a roof leak, and multiple complaints about deck and stairway conditions.

The building has also faced fire safety concerns, with multiple violations issued in May 2023 regarding alarm system maintenance and exit sign illumination, though these were subsequently abated. The property underwent several repair works between 2010-2012, including stair repairs, concrete flooring replacement, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Historical records show the building received reroofing work in 1995, and while various improvements have been attempted over the years, multiple active violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show recurring issues with trash management and parking concerns in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 262 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.
