408-418 Hugo St, San Francisco, CA 94122

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 408-418 Hugo Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Owen & Jane Conley 2014 Tru, has undergone several significant safety upgrades since its construction in 1906. Most recently, in 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $18,000 to meet current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building has completed mandatory seismic safety improvements, including a $30,000 soft-story retrofit in 2017 that brought the structure into compliance with San Francisco building codes. Historical records show earlier structural improvements, including anchor bolt and plywood sheathing installation in 2001, and major safety upgrades in the late 1990s when three metal fire escape balconies were installed, though there were some maintenance issues at that time including ceiling problems and plumbing complaints. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with notable violations recorded in 2003 related to fire safety, security, and sanitation, though these were all abated by June 2003.

A 2014 fire alarm system complaint was resolved in 2015, and there have been three documented smoke detector/system malfunctions recorded by the fire department, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 call activity (2023-2024) has primarily involved parking-related issues in the vicinity of the building, with multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk encroachments, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety features. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety requirements, with no active violations or building code concerns currently on file, and the most recent construction-related activity (as of December 2024) appears to be related to external work rather than internal building systems or structure.
