295 Monterey Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 295 Monterey Blvd in Sunnyside, owned by the Lee/Liu Family Trust, has undergone numerous significant improvements and faced several challenges since its construction in 1961. Most recently, in 2024, the building completed an electrical service upgrade to 400 amps with 7 meters, demonstrating investment in modern infrastructure. Major safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 (including low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas) to comply with current fire code requirements, and the completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work in 2016.

The building has also seen substantial interior improvements, including a kitchen and bath remodel in 2021 (costing $20,000) and the addition of an ADU in 2020 (including bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom). The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, including past roof repairs for leakage in 2019 and balcony repairs in 2016. Historical violations from 2001 included improper combustible storage in garage areas and gas meter instruction posting issues, though these were promptly abated within months.

More recent concerns have been documented, such as multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage and debris, with the most recent activity suggesting ongoing waste management challenges. A 2019 complaint regarding unpermitted roofing work and an illegal living unit in the garage was also resolved. Notably, there was a fire complaint in September 2023 regarding open flame burning, which was found to have no merit, and a recent pavement defect complaint is currently open as of 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and prompt addressing of violations, though some recurring issues related to garbage management and exterior maintenance persist.
