357-359 Crestmont Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 357-359 Crestmont Drive property is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Forest Knolls, built in 1965 and currently owned by Charles R Mcelwee II. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decades, including a complete reroofing in 2023 (cost: $17,000), a major repair of the elevated front walkway due to dry rot in 2020 (cost: $15,000), and seismic upgrades in 2003 (cost: $17,000).

A concerning recent issue emerged in September 2023 when unauthorized construction of stairway access to the roof was reported, though this was subsequently abated by November 2023 following issuance of a Notice of Violation. The building's history also includes some structural challenges, notably in 2020 when the elevated front walkway reportedly faced imminent collapse due to dry rot, though this issue was addressed by April 2021. The property has had regular maintenance work over the years, including earlier reroofing work in 1996 and garage improvements in 2003 with the installation of automatic garage door openers.

Additional maintenance and repairs have been documented through building permits, including termite rot repair to deck surfaces in 1984. While the building has had some violations related to structural issues and unauthorized modifications, these have generally been addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as documented through 311 calls, including reports of general cleaning needs, pavement defects, and tree damage, though these are external to the building itself.
