Initial analysis

The property at 439 Guerrero Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Gary Allen Meade. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work being a completed re-roofing project in December 2024 costing $18,000. Notable safety and security enhancements include the installation of window bars in 2023 (with emergency release mechanisms in bedroom windows) and the comprehensive upgrade of the fire safety system in 2011, which included a new fire alarm system, smoke detectors, and sprinkler system installation across all three units. The building has also received modern sustainable upgrades, including a solar panel installation in 2013 with multiple PV modules and inverters totaling 6.5 kW capacity.

The property underwent substantial renovations around 2009-2010, including complete plumbing upgrades with the installation of 10 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, multiple water heaters, and electrical system improvements featuring 400-amp service and hundreds of new fixtures. Historical records indicate that the building was converted from a church structure to its current residential configuration, with associated variance approvals for rear-yard and garage-door-width modifications. While there have been two building-related complaints (in 2004 and 2008) regarding unpermitted work and noise issues, both were promptly resolved. More recently, there have been multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding street cleaning and debris issues in the vicinity of the property, though these appear to be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 439 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 352 are predicted to be safer.
