Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 877-883 Guerrero Street, owned by William & Janet Mcdonald Re, was constructed in 1923 and contains 4 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, with substantial work performed between 2016-2019 including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements totaling over $150,000 in permitted work. The most recent major renovation in 2019 involved kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom remodeling, along with comprehensive electrical work including new circuits and smoke detectors. The building has maintained regular upkeep, including reroofing work in 2013 (and previously in 1995) and has no active building violations.

The property has experienced some construction-related issues, particularly evident in multiple complaints from 2013 regarding debris management during roof work, and one complaint in 2019 about construction debris handling. There were also two building violations from 2002 related to stairs/decks repairs and combustible storage concerns, which were promptly abated by June 2002. More recently, there have been two fire safety incidents involving malfunctioning alarm systems and smoke detectors, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance record shows attention to various building systems, including a fire extinguisher complaint in 2018 that was resolved with corrections. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk concerns and parking violations, rather than building-specific problems.

How 877-883 Guerrero St's risk score is calculated
