874-876 Hampshire St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit residential building at 874-876 Hampshire St, owned by Humberto D & Guadalupe Ruiz, was constructed in 1924 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being the 2020 window and patio door replacement project costing $55,000, which installed new Marvin Ultimate Signature Series aluminum-clad wood windows throughout the building. In 2021, a 40-gallon water heater was replaced, and there were earlier electrical upgrades in 2004 that included installing new lighting, switches, receptacles, and panels, along with various plumbing improvements.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over its history, particularly in the early 2000s. In 2004, there were active complaints about mold and mildew in the bathroom, window leaks, dry rot issues, and heating problems. These complaints followed a series of violations identified in 2003, including problems with window sashes, broken glass panes, stair repairs, plumbing issues, and missing fire extinguishers, though these violations were abated by October 2003.

Earlier complaints from the 1990s and early 2000s highlighted various problems including inadequate hot water, electrical code violations, and security issues. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2003-2004, including bathroom and bedroom conversions, water heater relocation, and electrical system upgrades, suggesting a significant effort to address these maintenance concerns. More recently, there have been numerous parking enforcement issues documented through 311 calls, though these are unrelated to building conditions and relate to driveway access.
