Initial analysis

The Hampshire Flats, a 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and located at 819-829 Hampshire Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few years. The property has completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 3) and received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC). The building's recent improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project (2020) involving 108 windows, foundation repairs (2021), and extensive renovations to Unit 821 (2021), which included kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom remodels with associated electrical and plumbing updates.

The building experienced several challenges between 2019-2020, including multiple building violations related to construction work, safety standards, and lead/asbestos concerns, all of which were eventually abated by February 2020. Complaints were filed regarding unauthorized work, construction safety practices, and permit compliance, though most of these issues were resolved through proper permitting and remediation work. More recent concerns have been relatively minor, including recent 311 calls for general cleaning (2023) and a sewage issue (2021), with only one active complaint as of 2020 regarding potential COVID-19 safety violations during construction. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with all major building violations having been resolved and appropriate permits obtained for recent work.

Risk rating

How 819-829 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, 2309 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units
