Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1251-1253 Hampshire Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex property, currently owned by Darlene Zandanel. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including multiple window replacement projects between 2014-2016, with the most recent work in 2016 involving the installation of four windows (one in 1251 and three in 1253) along with Hardie siding installation to the left side wall and light well, totaling 700 square feet. A major infrastructure upgrade was completed in 2015 with the replacement of the main sewer line, and historical records show a rear deck remodel with new railing installation from 1988.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, particularly regarding the sidewalk area, with the most recent concerns documented in January 2025 including sidewalk defects and a missing side sewer vent cover (though the latter was subsequently resolved). A pattern of noise complaints related to traffic was recorded in late 2022, with multiple reports filed between September and October of that year, all of which were filed as informational reports by the department. The building's only electrical modification on record is an expired permit from 2006 for the installation of an automatic garage door opener. Recent maintenance issues appear to be primarily focused on external infrastructure elements rather than the building's internal systems.

Risk rating

How 1251-1253 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.
