Rent & eviction protection

Is 188-190 Guerrero St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1900

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The building at 188-190 Guerrero Street is a 3-story, 3-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1900, currently owned by Nicholas G Paleologos Revocable Trust. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints (2023-2024) documenting persistent problems with appliances including non-functioning refrigerators, bathroom fixture leaks, and electrical issues affecting outlet functionality. A significant cluster of violations occurred in 2018, encompassing various safety concerns including the need for fire safety equipment (sprinklers and extinguishers), electrical repairs, mold remediation, and building access issues, all of which were abated by October 2018.

The building has undergone several substantial renovations, particularly in 2004-2009, including comprehensive electrical upgrades (installation of a new 200-amp service with 3 meters and multiple circuits), kitchen and bathroom remodels, and repairs to rear wooden stairs and deck. More recent work has included various plumbing upgrades and electrical improvements, though many of these appear to be addressing recurring issues rather than representing permanent solutions. There have been two documented sewage backup incidents (2023 and 2021), multiple 311 calls regarding general cleaning and debris issues, and periodic parking enforcement matters around the property. Of particular concern is a handrail removal incident in 2020 related to stairway safety, though this appears to have been addressed. The building experienced a building fire incident with intentional ignition, though no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 188-190 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
4thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 767 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building age

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