Rent & eviction protection

Is 68 Diamond St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1965
2 or more units

Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1965
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-story, six-unit apartment building at 68 Diamond Street, owned by the Wesley Woo 2003 Revocable Trust, has undergone significant improvements since 2018, most notably the addition of three Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on the ground floor completed in 2020 at a cost of $180,000. The building's fire safety systems have been substantially upgraded over the past few years, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the entire building in 2020-2022 ($62,700), and a new fire alarm system with multiple safety features in 2021. Window replacements have been addressed through multiple permits in 2021, transitioning from aluminum to fiberglass windows on the street-facing facade.

The building recently completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit (Tier 3) and received the Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) in 2022. Between 2018 and 2020, the property experienced several maintenance and compliance issues, including a period of violations regarding fire safety equipment, door repairs, and mechanical systems, though these were all abated by December 2018. More recent concerns have primarily involved external environment issues, with multiple encampment reports and requests for general cleaning services logged through 311 between 2023-2024, though these are more related to the neighborhood than the building itself. The property's most recent inspections and permits indicate active maintenance and compliance with current building codes and safety requirements, suggesting a general trend of improvement in building management and maintenance over the past five years.

Risk rating

How 68 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
46thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 690 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
