445 Diamond St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 445 Diamond Street is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by the Marilyn P Driscoll Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015 (Tier 3) at a cost of $60,000, which was followed by comprehensive deck repairs in 2020 ($45,000). Recent improvements to Unit 5 include kitchen repairs completed in October 2024 ($3,000), including cabinet repairs, plumbing upgrades for a new sink and dishwasher, and electrical work for outlet modifications.

The building has a documented history of safety compliance issues, particularly in 2001-2002 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety systems, egress obstructions, and alarm systems, though all were resolved by November 2002. Prior to that, there was a complaint in 2008 regarding a sinking bedroom ceiling, though this was also marked as not active. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep with several major improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2020 ($12,000) and previous work such as vinyl siding installation in 1997 and deck repairs in 1991.

Recent 311 calls have primarily been related to external issues such as pavement defects and parking violations, with the most pressing infrastructure concern being an open sidewalk defect case from January 2019. While there have been several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2018 and 2021, these are external to the building itself. The property's overall maintenance record suggests a proactive approach to major repairs and safety compliance, with all documented violations being addressed and resolved.
