Initial analysis

The property at 1414 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Michael Kuenzli. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing over $21,000 to comply with current fire code requirements. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent mechanical improvements include the replacement of Unit 6's forced air furnace and corresponding ventilation upgrades in early 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, including addressing lead paint hazards and various fire safety improvements. Noteworthy incidents include a heater ventilation issue in December 2021 that resulted in multiple inspections but was ultimately deemed adequate by both PG&E and building management. The property has also undergone routine inspections in 2004 and 2010, with all identified violations subsequently addressed. Historical records from 2000 show several fire safety violations regarding fire extinguishers, fire proofing, combustible storage, and smoke enclosure doors, all of which were resolved by November 2000. The building's plumbing and electrical systems have received recent attention, with completed permits for riser pipe upgrades and the installation of new electrical panels. While there have been occasional 311 calls regarding non-building related issues, such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, these are not directly related to the building's operation or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1414 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.
