Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1187-1189 Hampshire Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Roberto B. Ramos and M. Barajas, was constructed in 1914 as a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property underwent significant improvements in 2005, when a major renovation was completed that included combining two top-floor units into one and adding a new unit at the garage level along with a rear deck, with a reported cost of $174,000. Between 2007 and 2008, several substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades were carried out, including the installation of wastewater and gas systems, area drainage, bathroom heating system exhausts, and comprehensive electrical work involving multiple switches, outlets, and lighting fixtures.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including reroofing work completed in 1997. While the property itself has not been the subject of recent serious complaints, the surrounding area has experienced multiple incidents of graffiti and other minor street-related issues in 2023-2024, including some affecting a commercial portion of the building and adjacent public spaces. Of particular note is a recently reported (November 2024) sidewalk defect, though this was determined to be merely aesthetic in nature. Other recent service calls include reports of vandalism to a tree (2023), sign defacement (2022), and a parking enforcement issue (2022) - all of which have been resolved. The building's documented history reflects a property that has received regular maintenance and significant modernization efforts, particularly during the mid-2000s.

Risk rating

How 1187-1189 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, 1452 are predicted to be safer.
