1181-1185 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 1181-1185 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley, owned by Hollis R & Margaret Huffman, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant upgrades to improve safety and maintenance. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $60,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent improvements include the 2022 installation of a comprehensive fire alarm system valued at $25,000, including pull stations, smoke detectors, and sounders in all units. The building has received regular maintenance, including a complete reroofing in 2015 (cost: $16,500) and plumbing updates such as a sewer trap replacement in 2016. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, particularly related to water and drainage systems, with documented sewage backup incidents in 2013 and 2021 that required intervention by PUC Sewer Operations.

Of particular concern, there were mold complaints reported in August 2019 regarding black mold in the basement bathroom area, though inspections by both Housing Inspection Services and the Building Inspection Division found no violations at that time. Historical records from the late 1990s indicate past maintenance issues, including problems with lighting in common areas and rotted wood in various locations, though these appear to have been addressed through subsequent repairs and system upgrades. The building's most recent inspection records show no active violations or complaints, and routine inspections from 2011 onwards have shown compliance with housing standards.
