Initial analysis

Located in the Glen Park neighborhood, 2852-2860 Diamond Street is a 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, containing 4 units and a ground floor retail space, currently owned by Hayes Bypass Trust. The property has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the years, with the most recent work in August 2023 involving accessibility improvements including new door hardware and a power door operator, completed under the Accessible Building Entry (ABE) program. The building experienced a serious incident in July 2011 when a vehicle struck the structure, causing damage to the commercial unit's electrical, gas, and framing systems, which required approximately $5,000 in repairs and the re-connection of the gas meter. Other notable improvements include a 2016 re-roofing project ($9,500), the removal of a general advertising sign in 2019 ($3,000), and the installation of an awning for the "Pono" business in 2022 ($2,500).

Recent activity around the property includes various municipal service calls in early 2025 regarding graffiti, illegal postings, and debris removal, as well as multiple Muni service feedback complaints. The building's planning records show recent consideration for both bus stop bulb-out installation near the intersection and the potential installation of a rooftop wireless facility, though the latter project is currently on hold. The property has maintained compliance with housing and safety regulations, with no active building violations or complaints, though there was one previous complaint in 2017 regarding unpermitted work and historic tile alterations that was ultimately resolved. Fire incident records show four documented events, though none involved civilian injuries or actual fires.

Risk rating

How 2852-2860 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.
