Initial analysis

The 2738 Diamond Street property is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Glen Park, constructed in 1926 and classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The most significant recent improvements include a 2019 window replacement project, costing $12,000, which involved installing 12 new energy-efficient windows with a U-factor of 0.30, including 7 wood windows on the front façade and 5 vinyl windows in the rear. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with earlier works addressing dry rot issues in 2013 (repairing railings and stairs at the front entrance for $5,500) and 2001 (adding new footings under wood columns for $5,200). An electrical upgrade was completed in 2004, including a panel upgrade and installation of one receptacle.

The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, including multiple cases of parking violations around the property (two sidewalk parking incidents and two driveway blocking incidents, with one citation issued). There were also incidents involving graffiti (both resolved), a damaged tree incident, and one rent board inquiry. Some recurrent issues noted within the vicinity include defaced signs and public graffiti, with two cases currently remaining open (as of October 2023). The building's historical records indicate regular maintenance and upgrades, including a 1988 permit for dry rot repairs, though this permit has since expired. The property appears to be actively maintained, with most building permits showing completed status and no major outstanding structural or safety concerns evident in the records.

Risk rating

How 2738 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
44th percentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 204 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.0%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 6.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
