Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1262-1268 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley, owned by Luke A O'Brien, has undergone several renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1909. Most recently, in 2020, there was an attempted conversion of attic space into living space with new dormers (project subsequently cancelled), and kitchen/bathroom renovations were successfully completed. The building has seen regular maintenance and upgrades over time, including significant work in 2016 involving bathroom and electrical improvements, and multiple kitchen renovations between 2012-2020.

The property has a history of building violations and maintenance issues that raise some concerns about resident safety and building upkeep. Notably, there were several violations documented in 2006-2008 related to sanitation, interior surfaces, and lead paint hazards, which were ultimately abated. There were also serious concerns about stairs reported in 2015-2016, including unpermitted removal and safety issues, though these complaints are now listed as not active. Older records from 1997 show multiple unit maintenance issues, including plumbing, electrical, and flooring problems. The building has undergone various structural and maintenance work over the years, including window repairs (2007), siding repairs (2015), and safety-related upgrades. Recent improvements have focused on modernizing units, including kitchen renovations and bathroom upgrades, though some permits from 2020 were either cancelled or listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 1262-1268 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
