Rent & eviction protection

Is 1028 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 1924
2 or more units
11 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1924
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

The 11-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1028 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1924, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past few years. Most notably, in May 2024, the building completed a $28,500 upgrade to its fire safety system by adding 12 low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with current fire department codes. The building has successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements and is now classified as Tier 3 with the Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent maintenance activity includes the installation of a new backflow prevention system in August 2023 and several electrical improvements in 2024 related to fire safety systems.

The property has a history of responding to various infrastructure needs, including a comprehensive $35,000 remodel of residential unit #3 in 2018 (kitchen and bathroom updates), a $50,000 heating boiler replacement in 2011, and multiple fire safety system upgrades. Historical building violations from 2001, including concerns about fire escape maintenance and lead paint, were resolved by October 2001. The building's management has addressed periodic maintenance issues, with the most recent general maintenance complaint from July 2023 being resolved by August 2023. Recent external environmental notes include various 311 calls regarding street cleaning, noise, and tree maintenance in the vicinity of the building between 2020 and 2024, though these are generally related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1028 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location
