Rent & eviction protection

Is 1211 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 1900

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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.

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 two-unit residential building at 1211 Guerrero St in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by James W Keefer. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a substantial renovation in 2021 costing $30,000 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling as well as repairs to address dry rot on the rear deck and stairs. A concerning incident was reported in October 2019 involving unpermitted work on the front stairs leading from the sidewalk to the house, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The building's recent history shows regular municipal interactions primarily related to street maintenance and parking issues. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple calls regarding blocked driveways, resulting in citations, and several street cleaning matters including debris removal and a Christmas tree pickup. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a lifted sidewalk in 2022 that required attention and a few fire-related complaints in 2012 and 2021, with the latter being resolved through condition correction. An older permit from 2003 for reroofing work is listed as expired, though it's unclear if this work was completed. While the building has had various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, there are no current open violations or active complaints against the property.

Risk rating

How 1211 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
50thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 940 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
