Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 49-53 Guerrero Street, owned by Abraham & Miriam Bar Revoc, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues since its construction in 1908. Most recently, in April 2023, the building underwent re-roofing work costing $14,000, continuing a pattern of maintenance and upgrades that began in earnest in 2014. That year saw substantial improvements including electrical system upgrades with a 200-amp service change, complete ductwork replacements, and comprehensive remodeling of units 51 and 53 involving new plumbing, electrical systems, and interior finishes. Between 2013-2015, the building received new heating systems including forced air furnaces and associated plumbing work, as well as various interior improvements.

The property faced several challenges in 2013-2014, including multiple housing code violations related to building maintenance, interior surfaces, and sanitation issues, though all were officially abated by 2014. Complaints during this period indicated problems with heating, windows, mold, and maintenance, while a 2013 complaint regarding unauthorized foundation work was investigated but marked as not active. The building's infrastructure has been systematically improved through various permits, including sewer line replacements and bathroom/kitchen remodels. While there have been several fire department responses to the building, these were for non-injury incidents including a false alarm and a malfunctioning smoke detector. More recently, there is a noted issue with illegal short-term rentals associated with the property at 51 Guerrero Street, with penalties that could impact future building permits, though this appears to be part of a separate property management entity's activities. The building has maintained an active history of addressing maintenance issues through regular permits and inspections, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 49-53 Guerrero St'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.
