Initial analysis

The property at 1545-1547 Guerrero Street in Bernal Heights is a mixed-use building constructed in 1900, comprising a one-story structure with both residential and commercial units. The building currently has two residential units and previously housed a laundromat that closed in 2019. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most significant being an active building violation filed in March 2019 regarding unauthorized removal of interior walls and ceiling plaster in the commercial space. This violation led to a permitted bathroom renovation project in September 2019 to address flooding issues and compliance requirements, though this work was necessary due to prior unauthorized modifications.

Most recently, in December 2024, there is a filed permit for renovation work that includes improvements to both the commercial and residential units, featuring accessible restrooms, new storefront entry, and upgraded separation walls. The building has faced various maintenance and safety issues in the vicinity, including multiple reports of unauthorized parking and sidewalk blocking in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. Additionally, there were several instances of encampment cleanup requests in late 2023, all of which were resolved by city services, and one report of graffiti in December 2023 that was addressed by the Department of Public Works.

Risk rating

How 1545-1547 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.
