1385-1387 Hampshire St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1385-1387 Hampshire Street is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Wakiyama Hanako. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with the most notable recent work including a complete reroofing project completed in 2023 at a cost of $15,000, and the installation of ductless heat pumps in units A and B in September 2023. In 2021, substantial interior renovations were completed including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements, although these works were initially subject to some disputes regarding unauthorized modifications.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during 2019-2020 when violations were recorded for inadequate heating systems and general maintenance issues, though these were abated by June 2024. Historical tenant buyouts were recorded in 2016 and 2020, with amounts of $20,000 and $65,000 respectively, suggesting previous tenant relocations under the Ellis Act. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and challenges, with recent permits indicating ongoing upgrades to heating and electrical systems, while earlier complaints in 2019 cited problems with interior surfaces, heating, and security features.

Historical complaints from 2017 suggested concerns about unauthorized construction possibly attempting to convert units, and there were multiple reports in 2016-2018 regarding potential illegal unit usage and backyard encampments. Regulatory history shows several building permits for interior improvements and system upgrades, including roof replacement, heat pump installation, and various unit remodels. The property has experienced occasional issues with graffiti, sidewalk defects, and parking violations in recent years, though these are typical of urban residential settings and have generally been addressed through normal channels.
