Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 32-34 Lupine Ave, owned by Richard Chung Hsuen Chang, is a 2-story flats & duplex structure built in 1951 in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial being a garage conversion project completed in 2012 for unit #34, which added a family room, bedroom, full bath, and laundry facilities at a cost of $50,450. This addition included comprehensive upgrades, as evidenced by related plumbing and electrical permits for bathroom installation and wiring work. The building has also received important infrastructure updates, including a new water heater installation in 2019, a gas line extension in 2018, and an electrical system upgrade in 2013 that involved adding a house meter to the two-unit building.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with termite repair work completed in 2002, and earlier records indicate reroofing work from 2001. A notable housing inspection complaint was filed in 2012 regarding possible illegal units and unauthorized balcony installations, though this case was eventually marked as not active in 2013. The building's exterior area has experienced multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between 2013 and 2024, though all these cases were resolved with the vehicles being gone upon inspection. Other neighborhood concerns have included a blocked sidewalk due to a residential toter in 2020, overgrown vegetation noted in a 2016 service request, and occasional issues with parking enforcement, all of which were successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 32-34 Lupine Ave'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.
