Initial analysis

The Kavanagh Family Trust's 13-unit apartment building at 1001 Hampshire Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission was constructed in 1952 and spans three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a fire alarm system upgrade in December 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2014 (Tier 3) at a cost of $90,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance history includes comprehensive updates to Unit 101 in 2016-2017, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

In early 2023, the building underwent a periodic health and safety inspection that resulted in several violations, including issues with fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure doors, and gas utility shutoff tools. These violations were all addressed and abated by June 2023. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with prior fire violations noted in 2022 (alarm system maintenance) and documented compliance corrections for various fire safety issues dating back to 2008. The property has generally maintained active compliance with building codes, including significant repairs such as termite remediation in 1999 and ADA bathroom modifications in 2015. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters such as street cleaning and parking issues, while only one building-related maintenance issue was noted in 2024 regarding sidewalk tree root lift, which remains open.

Risk rating

How 1001 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, 2237 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.4%
Moderate concern 74.4%
Severe concern 13.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
