Rent & eviction protection

Is 1031-1033 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

The property at 1031-1033 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building dating back to 1900, currently owned by Laurence & Esperanza Mahan. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2007, there was a major intervention to remove an illegal kitchen and bathroom from the garage/basement area, with permits issued for the work across multiple trades including plumbing and electrical. In 2005-2006, the property experienced multiple housing code violations that required attention, including issues with electrical systems, interior surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors), windows, and plumbing fixtures, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2006.

More recent history shows fence and trellis work being undertaken in 2020, though this was somewhat contentious as evidenced by a May 2020 complaint about construction noise during remote teaching hours. There remains an active complaint from July 2014 regarding unpermitted construction in the garage area, which is particularly notable given the property's previous history with illegal units. While there were some permits filed in the early 1990s for seismic upgrades and garage work, these were ultimately cancelled. The most recent building-related activity appears to be limited to relatively minor exterior improvements, though the presence of unresolved complaints from 2014 raises some questions about full compliance with current building regulations.

Risk rating

How 1031-1033 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
45thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1033 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
