478-482 Guerrero St

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 478-482 Guerrero Street, owned by the Kwock Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1908 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant incidents throughout its history, most notably a serious fire in 2002-2003 that resulted in substantial damage and required approximately $120,000 in repairs to both the building structure and electrical systems, including the replacement of 30 lights, 38 switches, 60 receptacles, and 150-amp panel work. More recently, in May 2020, residents reported concerns about exposed wiring near the meters, as well as mold issues and ventilation problems. In 2012, the building underwent repairs including stair maintenance and installation of self-closing doors. During 2015-2016, there were four fire alarm incidents, though most were determined to be either without merit or due to malfunction, with one incident in 2016 requiring correction of conditions. The property's maintenance record shows periodic issues with building systems and safety features, including multiple violations in 2012 regarding lead paint hazards, egress obstructions, and various sanitation concerns. Recent maintenance and safety inspections demonstrate ongoing monitoring of the building's condition, with various permits issued for repairs and improvements over the years. The building's recent history (2023-2024) has recorded multiple 311 calls primarily related to exterior issues such as garbage and debris on the property, illegal parking, and sidewalk blocking, though these are generally routine urban maintenance matters and not directly related to the building's structural integrity or safety systems.
