1051 Hampshire St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1051 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 the Carmen Vargas Prather Trust, this flats/duplex-style building has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues in recent years. Most concerning is a series of complaints filed in December 2023 that revealed multiple safety and habitability concerns, including rodent infestation, water damage, insecure rear door locks, stair repairs needed, absence of smoke detectors, lack of weatherproofing, and heating problems affecting occupied habitable rooms.

These violations, while marked as "Not Active" following their filing, suggest a pattern of maintenance challenges that have persisted over time. In 2019, the building underwent mold remediation and weatherproofing work following complaints about those issues. The property's maintenance history shows some attempts at upkeep, including a reroofing project completed in 2003 and the recent replacement of two wall heaters in January 2024.

However, the building has continued to experience habitability issues, as evidenced by recent complaints about lead paint work practices filed in January 2024. Various municipal service calls from 2012-2020 indicate ongoing concerns about the property's surroundings and infrastructure, including issues with sidewalk damage from tree roots, hazardous materials on the street, and parking violations in the vicinity. While some exterior and infrastructure problems have been addressed through municipal intervention, the building's recent history suggests continued challenges with maintaining basic habitability standards.
