Initial analysis

The property at 1536 Guerrero Street in Noe Valley is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Rafidi Shawki & Samia. The building has experienced several significant plumbing and maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a sewage backup problem in January 2020 that reportedly persisted for weeks and affected the sidewalk and street. This plumbing issue was addressed with a house trap/sewer replacement completed in June 2022, along with bathroom fixture and tile replacements valued at $10,000 in late 2021. More recent plumbing concerns have been documented, including a sewage discharge incident from the side sewer vent in September 2024.

The building's maintenance history reveals various repairs and improvements, including exterior stair repairs with handrail installations in 2010 to address safety concerns. A significant cluster of violations was documented in October 2003, including issues with damaged walls, ceiling, toilet stability, and concerns about lead paint hazards, which were subsequently addressed. The property has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with the most recent housing inspection occurring in March 2017. Recent exterior maintenance work has included tree inspections and removal of decorative lights in late 2022. The building has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to parking enforcement, sidewalk maintenance, and tree health concerns, though none suggest immediate safety or habitability issues.

Risk rating

How 1536 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.
