AI summary

The property at 1596 Guerrero Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by the Peretz-Chami Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. In 2005, major interior upgrades were completed including kitchen and bathroom remodels in all four units, window replacements, and various interior/exterior improvements totaling $52,000. The electrical system received substantial upgrades in 2003-2006, including a new 200-amp service installation and comprehensive rewiring of all units with new panels and circuits.

The building's safety and regulatory compliance history shows attention to important issues, with seismic upgrades currently in process (as of October 2024) to meet mandatory program requirements. In 2000, the building underwent a series of fire safety improvements following a routine inspection, addressing multiple violations related to smoke detection, emergency egress, and combustible storage in the garage area, all of which were abated by October 2000. There have been recent attempts to add additional living space, with two proposals for ADUs in the ground floor parking/storage areas - one filed in March 2024 and another withdrawn in December 2021. The most recent building inspection was conducted in 2017, and there are no active building violations on record. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing inspection requirements, and routine maintenance issues such as parking, tree maintenance, and street cleaning have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 1596 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.

Neighborhood percentile
42th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1090 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.9%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 24.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
