Initial analysis

The three-story duplex at 432-434 Hugo Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by L & L Ayres Family Revocable Trust, is a 1904 multi-family residential building that has undergone several significant renovations over the past few years. The most substantial recent improvements include a comprehensive remodel of Unit 432 completed in 2018-2019, which involved kitchen and bathroom upgrades, removal of a spiral staircase, and creation of a master bedroom with a new stairway at an estimated cost of $125,000. This was followed by similar renovations in Unit 434 in 2020 costing $70,000, which included kitchen and bathroom updates along with interior wall modifications. The building has also seen important infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of a high-efficiency furnace and heating system (2021), complete electrical rewiring (2021), and plumbing renovations addressing multiple fixtures in both units.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding major safety issues, with most permits related to unit improvements rather than repairs of structural concerns. Historical records from the late 1990s show reroofing work was completed, and in 1989 there was a noted effort to bring the building into full compliance with municipal requirements. A tenant buyout occurred in February 2018 for $20,000 involving one tenant. More recently, in 2024, there have been several parking-related incidents reported through 311 calls, particularly involving sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though most cases were either unable to be validated or resulted in citations being issued. While these parking issues occurred after the most recent building renovations, they are primarily related to street use rather than building conditions.

Risk rating

How 432-434 Hugo 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
