Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 811 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 1975
2 or more units

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

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.

Built 1975
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

811 Diamond Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, containing four units and constructed in 1975. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement works, including a complete reroofing project in 2013 costing $13,000, and substantial decking renovations in 2006 which involved replacing waterproofing materials and installing new double-pane sliding doors on two rear decks measuring 4' x 18' each. The building's safety systems received attention in late 2002, when a routine safety inspection identified multiple fire safety deficiencies, including the need for smoke detectors in the lobby, directional signs, and fire extinguisher maintenance; all of these violations were promptly addressed and abated by January 22, 2003. While a blocked exit complaint was filed in August 2007, it was determined to have no merit by September of that year.

Recent history shows minimal major issues within the building itself, though there have been some maintenance matters and neighborhood incidents nearby, including reports of illegal postings (2021), and two separate reports of abandoned vehicles (2014) in close proximity to the building. The property underwent a routine safety inspection by Housing Inspection Services in January 2012, which was resolved on the same day. The building's documented history indicates that while there were significant fire safety concerns in late 2002, these were resolved in a timely manner, and no similar violations have been recorded in the past 20 years. The most recent building improvements and routine inspections suggest that the property has been maintained in compliance with safety requirements since the early 2000s.

Risk rating

How 811 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1447 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location
