Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 937-941 Guerrero Street, owned by the Buchbinder Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with revisions continuing into 2019), addressing seismic safety requirements at a cost of $56,000, and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 building. Recent building violations from 2019 indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges, with active issues related to fire safety (including a lead hazard warning and a missing 604 affidavit) and historical violations regarding egress obstruction and weatherproofing. Prior improvements include substantial electrical work in 2004 to replace outdated knob and tube wiring in unit 941A, plumbing upgrades in 2015 for unit 939, and various street-space permits in 2019.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly evident in 2019 when several violations were documented for interior surfaces, smoke detection, and building systems. Earlier complaints from 2005-2011 included concerns about door security, plumbing issues, and improper storage. A recent background check of 311 calls (2023-2024) shows mostly external issues such as parking violations, illegal postings, and tree maintenance concerns in the vicinity, along with one documented fire alarm system activation with no fire.

Risk rating

How 937-941 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
27th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 933 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 40.4%
Moderate concern 23.4%
Severe concern 36.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
