Rent & eviction protection

Is 643-645 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 1923

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 1923
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 two-unit residential building at 643-645 Guerrero Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Cathy Gim Ng Separate Property Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial renovations occurring in 2019, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel with new LED lighting, bathroom updates in the upper unit, and extensive electrical work including installation of a new 200A panel, multiple new fixtures, and smoke detectors. That same year, the building received new wood frame windows facing the street, and the heating system was upgraded with the replacement of two furnaces. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with records of roof replacements in 1997 and 2002, though these permits are now expired.

Recent external issues have primarily involved landscaping and sidewalk concerns, with multiple tree-related incidents reported in 2023-2024, including sidewalk lifting by tree roots and a fallen tree event. There have also been some urban maintenance matters typical for the area, such as graffiti on the mailbox (2024) and various cleaning requests. The property's maintenance record demonstrates regular upkeep of essential systems, though some plumbing and electrical permits from 2019 show as expired despite corresponding completed work. The building's permit history suggests ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with particular attention paid to modernizing interior spaces and improving energy systems.

Risk rating

How 643-645 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
87thpercentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 104 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
