Initial analysis

This multi-family residential building, located at 219 Monterey Blvd in the Sunnyside neighborhood, is a one-story structure built in 1900 with three units, currently owned by Caitlin S Collentine. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over recent years, with major projects including the legalization of a ground floor dwelling unit in 2021 (valued at $280,000) and comprehensive seismic retrofitting in 2019. Between 2017-2023, the building has seen multiple updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, plumbing system upgrades, and electrical improvements, with particular attention to addressing prior complaints about safety and code compliance. Noteworthy among these was a 2016 complaint regarding electrical safety concerns that temporarily halted construction, though subsequent work was properly permitted and completed, including the installation of new circuit systems and upgrades to 125A service.

The property has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues, including a sewer line repair in 2009 and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent complaints have primarily focused on parking enforcement, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2023-2025, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A specific plumbing-related complaint from 1997 regarding a vent pipe appears to be still marked as "active" in the system. Planning records indicate that the property has been subject to scrutiny regarding potential illegal dwelling units, particularly concerning a former commercial space conversion, though recent permits have sought to regularize these conditions. The building's maintenance and improvement history suggests ongoing investment in infrastructure and compliance with current codes, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and the various unit conversion-related history.

Risk rating

How 219 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
51th percentile

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 63 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.9%
Moderate concern 15.0%
Severe concern 6.1%
