Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, 16-unit residential building at 1200-1202 Hampshire Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Murphy San Francisco LP, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several significant issues in recent years. The property is currently facing multiple active violations and complaints, with the most pressing concerns being related to expired permits and a vacancy compliance issue. Specifically, there are active violations from 2026 regarding expired permits, potential unsafe demolition activities in a former commercial space, and a vacant storefront compliance issue. A building safety inspection in October 2023 identified various concerns in public and common areas, which were subsequently addressed by November 2023. The building has a documented history of 442 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent issues in 2026 including concerns about mailboxes, homelessness, garbage, and driveway blocking. While there have only been minor building violations recorded, including missing light fixtures and various maintenance matters, the pattern of expired permits, vacant storefront issues, and recent complaints suggests ongoing management and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the former commercial space that appears to have remained problematic since at least 2025.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1200-1202 Hampshire St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Just-cause eviction

Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Risk rating

How 1200-1202 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
1stpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2356 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
