Initial analysis

The property at 977 Hampshire Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Ismael Versoza III. The building experienced significant structural issues in 2019 when the ground-level brick facade was reported to be detaching from the main structure, creating potential safety hazards. This violation prompted emergency repairs in 2020, costing $20,000, to remove failing masonry, replace sheathing, and reinstall brick veneer to match the original design. The building underwent several other maintenance improvements in recent years, including a $25,000 project in 2010 to demo and rebuild the rear staircase and replace four vinyl windows at the rear, addressing previously reported concerns about staircase collapse from 2003.

The property has been the subject of multiple parking enforcement calls in recent years, with several documented cases of driveway blocking requiring citations or towing between 2022 and 2024. There were also two incidents in 2023 involving fallen trees that required Department of Public Works attention. Earlier maintenance issues included some paint flaking on the building's south and west sides in 2009, which was promptly addressed. While the building has had its share of structural and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the facade deterioration in 2019-2020, the recent period shows fewer building-specific complaints, with most recent issues relating to parking and tree maintenance rather than structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 977 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.
