Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 705-707 Hampshire Street, owned by the Cardenas Family Living Trust, dates back to 1900 and is classified as a flats/duplex structure containing two units. The property has experienced several significant events over the past two decades, most notably a series of violations and complaints in 2016 that were all resolved within two months, including issues with rodent infestation, damaged walls, electrical outlets, weather protection, and floor coverings. Prior to this, in 2004, there was an enforcement action regarding an illegal third unit in the garage level, which was subsequently removed and reverted to non-usable under floor area. The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement work, including the replacement of two garage doors in 2010 and the installation of nine replacement windows in 1995, though the latter permit is listed as expired. More recently, there was a construction noise complaint in 2020, and several 311 calls have been logged for various issues including excessive noise, trash management, and street maintenance matters between 2009 and 2015. The property appears to have had most of its significant building code compliance issues addressed promptly, with all major violations marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 705-707 Hampshire 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1833 are predicted to be safer.
