Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 1248 Hampshire St in the Inner Mission, owned by Robert Newdoll, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations over the past two decades. The building has seen consistent updates to its units, particularly between 2007 and 2015, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. The most substantial recent improvements include a complete rewiring of a two-bedroom unit in late 2014, which included the installation of new lighting, switches, and modern appliances. Earlier renovations focused on individual units, with notable work done in Units A, B, and C involving bathroom updates, kitchen remodeling, and various infrastructure improvements.

The building has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, particularly during a cluster of violations in 2003 that were all abated by November of that year, including issues with handrails, fire safety equipment, and lead paint hazards. While there was an incident in 2007 involving unauthorized work and noise complaints, this issue appears to have been resolved through subsequent permits. More recently, the property has had minimal complaint history, with only routine maintenance and exterior issues reported through 311 calls, such as street cleaning, pavement defects, and occasional parking concerns. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, including a furnace replacement in 2015 and various plumbing improvements, indicating ongoing attention to building infrastructure and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 1248 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.
