AI summary

The three-story multi-family residential building at 477 Diamond Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-unit structure built in 1978 currently owned by the Maso/Langer Revoc Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent maintenance work occurring in 2021 when ceramic deck tiles were replaced at the front of the dwelling at a cost of $6,000. Prior to that, the property saw a substantial garage door upgrade in 2020, with the replacement of a wooden garage door with an aluminum/glass option costing $10,000. A major interior remodeling project was completed in 2005, which included hardwood floor installation, stair updates, new railings, kitchen modifications, and the installation of shear walls, valued at $55,000. The building's basic infrastructure has been maintained, as evidenced by two separate roofing projects, one completed in 1989 and another in 2002 costing $7,500.

Recent issues of note include two reports of collapsed sidewalks in October 2022 which remain unresolved, and a tree root-related property damage incident in February 2020 involving lifted sidewalk sections. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly in 2022, with multiple citations issued to offenders. While these parking violations represent an inconvenience, they are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements over the years, with particular attention paid to both exterior and interior spaces, as well as infrastructure updates including electrical system enhancements evidenced by past permits for lighting, switches, and circuit installations.

Risk rating

How 477 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.

Neighborhood percentile
