Initial analysis

The property at 831-833 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 Kim Hyunsung John & Liu You. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past five years, with the most recent planned renovation (as of January 2025) involving ground-level conversion to habitable space, new staircase installation, and upper-level improvements, though this permit is currently in Triage status. Notable completed improvements include a 2022 reroofing project, 2021 window replacements (19 windows with energy-efficient specifications), and substantial unit upgrades in 2018 including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system improvements replacing knob and tube wiring, and the installation of a new furnace.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues, including a sewage backup incident in December 2022, though this was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls related to driveway blockages between 2022 and 2024, with several citations and one vehicle towing incident recorded, indicating an ongoing parking management challenge in the area. The building underwent significant tenant turnover in June 2018, with documented buyouts of one tenant at 831 Hampshire Street for $30,000 and two tenants at 833 for $35,000. The property has also seen various system upgrades, including HVAC improvements with a heat pump and four air handlers in 2021, though this permit has since expired. All completed permits suggest proper maintenance and upgrading of building systems, though the planned 2025 renovations represent the most substantial upcoming change to the property.

Risk rating

How 831-833 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, 119 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.2%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 2.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
