Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1261-1263 Hampshire Street, owned by Ester Hernandez Fmly & Art, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1932 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs in the 1990s, including termite repairs and reroofing in 1995, followed by the installation of anchor bolts around the perimeter in 1997. A notable housing complaint was filed in September 1995 regarding a leaking roof, decaying walls and ceilings in hallways and bathrooms, electrical issues, and plumbing overflow in the interior stairwell, though this complaint was marked as abated in February 1996. More recently, in 2011, the building underwent a gas water heater replacement.

The property's location has experienced multiple 311 calls over recent years, primarily related to parking enforcement matters, with six documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2018 and 2022. The surrounding area has also faced occasional street cleanliness issues, with three reports of human or animal waste on public sidewalks in 2019 and 2021. The most recent complaint activity was recorded in January 2025 regarding an encampment, though responding officers were unable to locate the reported issue. While the building has undergone necessary repairs in the past, particularly in the 1990s, there are no recent building permits or major maintenance records in the past decade, which could indicate either stability or a lack of documented improvements.

Risk rating

How 1261-1263 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.
