Hunters View

The site, built in 1957 and intended to be temporary,[1]: 1  was rated in 2007 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with a score of 26 out of 100, ranking it as one of the worst housing developments in the United States,[2] with problems such as boarded-up units, lack of smoke detectors, mold, broken appliances, holes in walls, bullet holes in walls, sewage flowing through the street because of a broken pipe, and burnt out garbage cans,[3] and was the site of a housing fire in 1997 that killed 6 people.

[4] The City paid off a $12 million lawsuit to the fire victims' families in April 2009.

[5] It has been the site of many crimes, which contributed to the homicide rate in San Francisco in the past,[6][7][8] and in 2008 it received gunshot sensors due to the amount of crime in the area.

[9] There are currently plans to overhaul the complex,[10] which won't break ground until 2009,[11] as the development is compared to some residents as a third-world country.

[12][13] Starting in 2007, a multi-phase rebuilding of this complex has been ongoing.
