Initial analysis

The 775 Guerrero Street property is a 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Carlma S Houweling Survivos. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a completed soft story retrofit in 2015 costing $65,000, installation of a backflow device in 2017, and reroofing in 1991. However, the property is currently facing serious multiple active building violations as of February 2023, including requirements for compliance affidavits, interior surface paint issues (including lead paint concerns), fire safety concerns (including fire escape maintenance and fire proofing), and various other building maintenance issues including weather proofing problems.

The building has a documented history of maintenance concerns and tenant complaints, particularly regarding heating issues, water quality (brown water in 2019), and general building conditions. Previous complaints from 2022 and 2019 highlighted heating problems and water quality issues that were not adequately resolved at the time. A pattern of painting and maintenance concerns is evident, including past issues with peeling paint and fire escape maintenance. The property has complied with some major safety requirements, notably completing the soft-story retrofit as part of the city's seismic safety program (Tier 3 status) and undergoing routine apartment inspections.

Risk rating

How 775 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.
