2928 Diamond St

Glen Park, SF 94131 6756003 3 units · 2 fl · 1978

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 2928 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 1978
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 1978
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 property at 2928 Diamond Street in Glen Park is a two-story, multi-family residential building containing three units, constructed in 1978 and owned by Jae In Choi and Young Sook. The building has undergone regular roof maintenance, with re-roofing projects documented in 1998, 2006, 2015, and most recently in 2024 at a cost of $19,000. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in January 2001, including mechanical code violations related to dryer venting, fire safety issues regarding extinguishers, and several safety compliance matters including gas utility requirements and security needs; however, all these violations were abated by February 2001. The building experienced a water outage in March 2011, which was resolved the following day.

The property has undergone regular routine inspections of common areas in 1999, 2001, 2007, and 2011, all of which were promptly addressed. Recent maintenance issues in the vicinity include reports of overgrown trees (2023-2024), graffiti (2024), and pavement defects (2023), with the most recent complaints being relative to street maintenance rather than the building itself. Historical planning records show initial proposals for construction in the area, including plans for 6 buildings with 3 units each, though these were ultimately withdrawn. The property's documented history shows consistent attention to maintenance requirements and prompt resolution of violations and complaints, with no active violations or complaints on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2928 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
20thpercentile

Out of 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 291 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
