Initial analysis

The property at 821 Diamond Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, constructed in 1975 and currently owned by Mylett Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a completed reroofing project in 2013 costing $13,000, and prior roofing work in 1989. A notable set of fire safety violations was recorded in November 2002, involving the need for smoke detectors in the lobby and various fire extinguisher updates; however, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by January 2003. In 2006, work was permitted for deck waterproofing and sliding door replacement at the rear of the building, though this permit is shown as expired.

Recent activity around the building primarily consists of street-related issues, with several 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 regarding sidewalk parking, garbage concerns, and street cleaning matters. Between 2021-2024, there have been recurring reports of garbage overflow, general cleaning needs, and parking violations in the vicinity of the property. Two abandoned vehicle complaints were logged in July-August 2019. The building's planning records show past proposals for the site, including a disapproved application for a car wash and a noted CEQA clearance for three four-unit buildings with commercial space, though it appears this was not directly related to the current structure at 821 Diamond Street.

Risk rating

How 821 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1447 are predicted to be safer.
