Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 892-894 Guerrero Street, owned by Carl Tharp, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1930 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has experienced significant recent maintenance and safety issues, with active violations filed on May 17, 2024, including multiple fire safety concerns such as the need for smoke alarms and CO detectors, interior surface problems like mold and damaged walls, garage ceiling repairs, and security improvements including replacing a double-keyed cylinder lock. The violations also include requirements for smoke/carbon compliance documentation and concerns about lead paint hazards. A recent tenant complaint from May 16, 2024, notes issues with wood rot under showers and sinks, flaking paint (possibly containing lead), garage fumes, blocked fire exit access, and problematic dryer exhaust from the top unit.

In addition to the interior violations, there have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, with six documented cases resulting in citations and various outcomes, though several vehicles could not be located for enforcement. A sidewalk defect was reported in October 2024, and there was an unconfirmed report of a damaged tree in October 2023. The building's maintenance history shows some positive activity, with a completed water heater replacement in July 2024, though this is overshadowed by the numerous outstanding violations and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 892-894 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.
