Initial analysis

The property at 1257-1259 Hampshire Street is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1909, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent notable work being a roof replacement in 2019 costing $21,000. In 2015, major infrastructure upgrades were completed, including the installation of two tankless water heaters and new electrical panels in the basement, though one related plumbing permit for flues expired. The building has maintained relatively good structural and safety standards, with only two major repair records - a roof replacement and repair work to the rear stairs and landing in 1995.

The property has experienced various municipal service matters between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent incidents being a resolved missing side sewer vent cover and a pavement defect case in 2024. Notable issues from 2020 included concerns about tree roots damaging property and a missing side sewer vent cover, though these were addressed through proper channels. Other recorded incidents have been primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance, including graffiti removal, a damaged bike rack, and some traffic-related noise. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and prompt attention to repairs, as evidenced by the completion of all major infrastructure improvements and most service-related issues. While there have been several 311 calls regarding various neighborhood concerns, these appear to be more related to public infrastructure and street conditions rather than problems specific to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1257-1259 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
