Initial analysis

The 10-unit, two-story apartment building at 300 Hamilton Street in the Portola neighborhood, constructed in 1965 and currently owned by Idi Torres 2010 Revoc Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most pressing is the building's non-compliant status with mandatory soft story retrofit requirements (Tier 3), with a violation filed in October 2019 that remains active. In late 2019, multiple complaints regarding hot water issues were filed, with one specifically noting problems with a single boiler supplying the entire building. The building has a history of fire safety violations, with the most recent set of violations from August 2023 concerning alarm systems, extinguishers, and exit maintenance, all of which were abated by October 2023. Between 2016-2018, the property faced several significant maintenance challenges, including water damage, garage leaks, and sanitation issues, with tenants reporting problems including broken door closers and rubbish accumulation. The building has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over its history, including roofing projects in 1991-1993, termite work in 1992, and multiple fire safety system updates. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show recurring issues with garbage and debris around the property, and there is currently an open public health request from December 2024.

Risk rating

How 300 Hamilton 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.

Neighborhood percentile
