Initial analysis

701 Hampshire Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Visegrad LLC and containing 6 units. The property underwent significant renovations between 2020-2022, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2021 at a cost of $220,000, which brought the building into compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. This major improvement was followed by comprehensive updates to the building's safety systems, including the installation of fire sprinklers throughout the first floor, new smoke detectors, and emergency response systems with monitoring capabilities, completed in 2022 at a cost of $6,900.

The building has seen substantial unit improvements, particularly in 2020-2021, with complete remodels of multiple units (101, 102, 103, and 203) including kitchen and bathroom updates, new plumbing systems, and electrical upgrades. The property has also seen infrastructure improvements including a new roof (2021), exterior stucco siding installation (2021), and the addition of 14 mini-split systems for climate control (2021). While the extensive renovations did generate multiple noise complaints from neighbors during 2020, particularly regarding early morning construction hours and equipment use, these issues appeared to be resolved as work progressed through to completion. A recent active complaint filed in August 2022 regarding unpermitted work remains under investigation by the Building Inspection Division. The building's maintenance and safety systems have been significantly upgraded, with particular attention paid to seismic safety, fire prevention, and modern amenities during the recent renovation period.

Risk rating

How 701 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, 2071 are predicted to be safer.
