770-772 Hampshire St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 770-772 Hampshire Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Gladys Dewitt. The building has a documented history of stair-related maintenance issues, with repairs to both front and back stairs carried out in 2007, 2009, and 2010 costing between $3,000 and $5,000. More concerning, the property experienced significant safety and habitability issues in 2021, when multiple violations were documented including the lack of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, adequate lighting, and functional electrical outlets; these violations were abated by October 2021.

Earlier violations from 2004 had also addressed electrical problems, mold/mildew issues, and plumbing concerns. In 2020, serious maintenance concerns were reported including water intrusion, lack of heat, and insect problems, along with allegations of bedbugs and non-functional hot water, though these complaints were listed as not active. A pattern of unauthorized work was noted between 2006-2010, including unpermitted roof work, shed construction, and unauthorized electrical/plumbing modifications, though subsequent permits were obtained for various repairs.

The most recent documented issues involve several 311 calls between 2022-2024 primarily relating to parking concerns and street maintenance, including reports of illegally parked vehicles, sidewalk parking, and various street cleaning issues. The property appears to have undergone several maintenance cycles, with the most serious violations being addressed through official notice and abatement processes, though they highlight a history of deferred maintenance and safety compliance issues requiring regular intervention from housing authorities. While the building has resolved its most recent violations, the historical pattern suggests previous challenges with maintaining building safety and habitability standards, particularly regarding electrical systems, stair access, and basic plumbing facilities.
