1286 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building located at 1286 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Giampaolo Boschetti. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a completed fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 (costing $28,203) to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders and a new fire panel.

The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $49,000) to improve seismic safety, and in 2006 the exit stair was replaced. However, the building has experienced serious maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2022-2023, when multiple tenants reported concerns including water damage, lead paint problems, and rodent infestations, with one serious complaint noting ceiling collapse over a child's bed. These issues prompted mandatory compliance inspections and violations for various safety concerns including fire escape maintenance and smoke detection systems during the inspection period from 2001 to 2022.

The property is currently undergoing a legalization process for two unpermitted fourth-floor units, as indicated in the September 2019 complaint about potential fire safety violations related to unauthorized units. Recent maintenance history includes various unit renovations, such as a bathroom remodel in 2018, though some permits from 2008 (reroofing) expired without completion records. The building's historical violations and complaints indicate periodic issues with basic safety requirements, though most recent work focuses on bringing systems up to current code compliance.
