Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 821-823 Guerrero Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2005 when a voluntary foundation upgrade costing $30,000 was completed, along with electrical rewiring and various structural improvements. The building received a new roof in 2007 (cost: $7,000), and electrical upgrades were implemented in 2006 including a whole unit rewiring project. Recent concerns include multiple instances of garbage and debris on the property, with recurring reports of human waste or urine on the street/sidewalk areas throughout 2024. There have also been several parking enforcement cases involving vehicles on the sidewalk, though not all resulted in citations. Two notable maintenance issues remain unresolved as of 2024: a dead tree reported in July 2024 and a previously fallen tree (reported June 2023). The building's history includes three fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and a 2009 complaint regarding unpermitted operations was referred to another agency. The most recent building permit activity was a street space permit issued in 2011. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of major systems, though recent sanitation and exterior maintenance issues warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 821-823 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 409 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.2%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 9.2%
