Rent & eviction protection

Is 2700-2702 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 1962

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.

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

The two-unit residential building at 2700-2702 Diamond Street in Glen Park, owned by Jeffery & Diane Cerf 2002 R, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1962. The property underwent significant improvements in 2011, including the installation of 18 energy-efficient vinyl windows, a kitchen remodel in unit 2702, and the removal of an unauthorized lower-level studio and deck. This renovation period also involved correcting building violations from 2010 regarding unauthorized unit modifications, including the removal of interior stairs and bay windows. Infrastructure upgrades included replacing two heating systems, rewiring bedrooms, relocating utility meters, and upgrading the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps. More recently, in the last quarter of 2024, the building has experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention, including sewer-related problems (both a backup and tree root damage), a missing side sewer vent cover, and some environmental concerns such as garbage debris and overgrown trees. A tenant buyout occurred in December 2024 at a neighboring address (2714 Diamond Street) involving two tenants and a payment of $55,925, though this is not directly related to the subject property.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing compliance issues and upgrading systems, particularly during the 2011 renovation period. Recent maintenance concerns primarily involve sewer infrastructure and exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls related to these issues in late 2024. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes since the major renovation and correction of violations in 2011, though the recent sewer maintenance issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The most recent significant infrastructure upgrade on record was completed in 2011, and there are no current open building violations as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2700-2702 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
62ndpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 138 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
