Initial analysis

The 353-355 Crestmont Drive property is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Charles L Powell and Wiss Mar. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project in 2019 that updated all three bathrooms across both units, including electrical and plumbing work at a cost of $45,000. In 2020, the roof received significant attention with a complete reroofing project costing $18,000, utilizing a modified bitumen membrane roofing system. Another important infrastructure improvement occurred in 2007 when galvanized steel posts and bollards were installed at the property boundary, and earlier, in 1987, there was remediation work for dry rot issues in the carport and rear foundation areas.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of major systems, including multiple roofing projects (previous work done in 2002) and various modernization efforts. The property has been relatively stable in terms of structural issues since the 1987 dry rot repairs, with the most recent major works focusing on bathroom modernization and roof replacement. While there have been numerous reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (eight incidents from 2011 to 2019), none have directly impacted the building's operations or resident experience, as all vehicles were gone upon inspection or otherwise resolved without incident. Two tree-related incidents were reported in 2015-2017, but these were not directly linked to the property itself. A general street cleaning issue was logged in 2011, though this appears to be related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 353-355 Crestmont Dr'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.

Neighborhood percentile
92th percentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.5%
Moderate concern 14.8%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
