Initial analysis

61 Diamond Street is a two-unit residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1908 and owned by Ahmad Afzal. The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2023/2024, the property has seen multiple tree-related maintenance issues, with several pruning requests submitted for overgrown trees, though none of these affected sidewalk access significantly. The building's infrastructure received notable attention in 2018 with both sewer line and house trap replacements, as well as street space permits, marking the most recent major system upgrades. Previous significant work includes a foundation and wall replacement at the northwest corner in 2010, comprehensive bathroom renovations in 2005 (including addressing water damage on multiple floors), and the installation of new windows and electrical systems in various areas between 1983-2006.

The building's history includes addressing various maintenance and compliance issues, such as termite repairs in 1998, plumbing upgrades in 2006, and resolution of a housing violation regarding an illegal unit in 1995. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external maintenance matters including tree overgrowth, graffiti, and parking issues, with the most recent concerns being well-addressed or resolved. Fire safety records show three minor incidents related to false alarms and smoke removal with no reported injuries. The property has maintained active response records for street space usage permits, indicating ongoing compliance with municipal requirements.

Risk rating

How 61 Diamond 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.
