Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 286 Monterey Blvd in the Sunnyside neighborhood, owned by Patrick J Bray, is a 1907 structure classified as Flats & Duplex. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with the most recent being a substantial reroofing project completed in March 2020 at a cost of nearly $15,000. The property has a history of routine housing inspections, with notable findings in 2003 and 2010. The 2003 inspection revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including issues with gas utility shutoff tools, fire extinguishers, emergency exits, and smoke detectors, though all violations were abated by May 2003. The 2010 inspection identified interior surface maintenance needs, including wall painting and weather proofing repairs.

Significant historical work includes door and window replacements (1987), porch repairs (1987), and an attempted horizontal addition (1987) that expired. A 1999 plumbing-related complaint regarding water and gas line access was resolved within a month. The building has recently experienced several neighborhood issues typical of urban environments, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking enforcement and street maintenance. A fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was reported in September 2024 and is currently unresolved. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems, with no active violations or complaints related to safety or habitability as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 286 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.

Neighborhood percentile
39th percentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.0%
Moderate concern 28.1%
Severe concern 11.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
