AI summary

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 60-64 Diamond Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1894 currently owned by the Lau/choi Family Trust. The property's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most pressing concerns occurring between 2001-2002 when multiple complaints about excessive mold and mildew prompted a comprehensive enforcement action. This inspection revealed various life safety issues, including unauthorized fiberglass panel installations enclosing the rear stairs used for emergency egress, security violations, and fire safety concerns, though all violations were officially abated by November 2002. More recent maintenance includes a 2008 gas line extension and a 2015 attempt to replace the back siding, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

The building's historical records show regular maintenance activities typical of a structure of this age, including reroofing projects completed in 1989 and 2006, security gate installation in 1989, and significant porch repairs in 1988 involving floor replacement, handrail improvements, and addressing leaks. A 2008 complaint about lead paint chips affecting neighboring property was promptly addressed within two weeks. The most recent building related activity was a housing inspection in 2011, which noted fire extinguisher maintenance requirements. In terms of recent neighborhood activity, there have been several parking enforcement calls between 2019-2023, primarily related to driveway blocking, which while not directly related to building conditions, may affect resident access.

Risk rating

How 60-64 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.
