Initial analysis

The building at 1338-1344 Hampshire Street is a two-story, multi-family residential structure built in 1912, containing 4 units and currently owned by Yip Revocable Trust. The property has undergone significant renovation work between 2009 and 2011, including multiple unit remodels, bathroom additions, and window replacements. Noteworthy improvements include a major $45,000 renovation in 2010 that relocated the kitchen and bedroom in unit 1340, added a new bathroom, and included comprehensive electrical updates with new wiring, lighting, and safety installations. The building has experienced several concerning issues in the past, including multiple violations and complaints between 2000 and 2005 regarding unauthorized occupancy conversions, particularly involving the garage space, which was allegedly converted into habitable rooms without proper permits, resulting in safety concerns about egress, ventilation, heating, and smoke detection systems. There were also numerous complaints about construction work being performed beyond the scope of permitted work, particularly in 2009-2010, including foundation work and structural modifications. All these violations were eventually abated by June 2002, with proper permits obtained for subsequent repairs and improvements.

Recent history shows ongoing parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2022 for vehicles blocking the driveway, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability concerns. The most recent building-related activity was a street space permit issued in 2014, and there have been no recorded building violations or complaints in the past decade, suggesting successful remediation of previous issues. During the period of concern (2000-2010), significant investments were made in building improvements totaling over $200,000, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, HVAC system upgrades, and electrical system improvements. The property has been compliant with all building codes since 2002, with no active or unresolved violations on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1338-1344 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.
