1295 Guerrero St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1295 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1960, has undergone several significant safety-related improvements and faced multiple compliance challenges over its history. Most recently, in May 2024, a permit was filed to upgrade the fire alarm system to meet state fire marshal requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders and wireless radio monitoring.

The building is currently classified as a non-compliant Tier 3 soft-story property, having failed to complete the required seismic retrofit work, though a $90,000 retrofit permit was filed in 2016. There have been multiple fire safety and maintenance issues documented, including three separate alarm system violations in 2017, 2010, and 2001, all of which were eventually abated.

The building has experienced various tenant complaints, including a significant electrical and sanitation issue in 2010 involving power loss and mold, which was resolved within two days of reporting. Historical records show several completed maintenance projects, including reroofing work in 1991 and 2012, and multiple building code compliance issues related to fire escapes, fire extinguishers, and smoke detection systems, all of which were addressed by the property management. Recent maintenance issues appear to be primarily external to the building itself, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning and debris removal in the vicinity of the property, though these are not directly related to building conditions or management.
