Rent & eviction protection

Is 1044-1048 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 1907
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 1907
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 three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1044-1048 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by Robert A. Imhoff. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2011 involving electrical rewiring of units 1044 and 1046, interior repairs to kitchens, and rear porch modifications, totaling approximately $15,000. Previous notable improvements include a comprehensive plumbing upgrade in 2013 for rear porch facilities, electrical work in 2003 including garage remodeling, and multiple repairs to address dry rot issues in the garage and building structure between 2001-2011. The building has experienced several compliance issues, particularly in 2001-2003, when multiple violations were documented regarding fire safety, electrical systems, and structural elements, though all were ultimately abated by November 2006. Historical complaints about the rear garage's condition and safety, including reports of rotting structure and security concerns, were persistent from 1998 through 2003, leading to various repair permits. The most recent inspection-related concerns involved exterior maintenance issues in 2011, including peeling paint and construction debris handling.

The property has maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements since the mid-2000s, with no active violations on record as of October 2023. Recent maintenance history shows typical urban building issues such as garbage containment concerns (2020) and parking violations (2019-2022), though these are not necessarily indicative of building condition or management quality. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to structural and safety issues, with most significant repairs appearing to be properly permitted and completed through appropriate channels, aside from some instances of unpermitted work in 2011 that were later addressed through proper permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 1044-1048 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
47thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 996 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
