524 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 524 Guerrero St building, constructed in 1907, is a four-story, 30-unit multi-family residential property located in Mission Dolores. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past decade, including the completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2014, fire alarm system upgrades in 2021, and most recently, exterior stair repairs in 2023. The property has a documented history of addressing various structural and safety issues, such as multiple stair repairs, dry rot remediation, and roofing work.

Notable incidents include two concerning ceiling collapse incidents in 2007 related to water damage, and a 1998 carbon monoxide issue with a dryer that was promptly addressed. The building has maintained regular compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the completion of a voluntary fire alarm system replacement in 2021 and a new boiler installation in 2011. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 identified a sleeping area requirement violation, though this appears to have been promptly addressed.

The property has experienced periodic issues requiring attention, including elevator problems documented in 2006, and various maintenance concerns that have generally been resolved through proper channels. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. While the building has faced its share of challenges over the years, the current record shows an active management approach to maintaining safety and compliance with city regulations.
