Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 971-975 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 before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units

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 1900
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

This three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 971-975 Guerrero St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Elba Lucero Family Trust. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably a fire incident in 2003 that caused roof damage and water leakage problems, particularly affecting unit 973. The building has undergone multiple stair repairs and replacements between 2010 and 2015, addressing safety concerns that were first documented in 2003. Recent major maintenance work includes roof rafter repairs in 2015 and the replacement of furnaces in units 1 and 2 in 2014.

The building's history shows consistent attention to safety and maintenance over the years, with the most recent significant repairs involving roof work and heating system upgrades. While there were multiple building violations noted in 2003-2008 regarding stairs, egress obstruction, and lead paint concerns, these were ultimately resolved. More recent building permits from 2015 and the replacement of furnaces in 2014 suggest ongoing maintenance by the current ownership. The property has had routine inspections and resolved various housing code violations, with the most recent significant building permit being for roof repairs in 2015. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, indicating that major internal building systems have been relatively stable in recent years.

Risk rating

How 971-975 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 895 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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