Rent & eviction protection

Is 2852-2860 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 1924

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 1924
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

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

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
12thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 320 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
