Initial analysis

The property at 599 Crestmont Drive in Forest Knolls, owned by Arsha LLC, is the site of a significant residential development project that has undergone various planning and permitting processes between 2019 and 2023. The most recent approved plans indicate a comprehensive development consisting of 34 dwelling units across four new buildings, with a total building space of 68,440 square feet and 40 off-street parking spaces. The residential buildings are designed as four-story structures, approximately 20 feet in height from grade, with the development also including plans for a new road connecting to Crestmont Drive.

Initial permit applications from December 2019 outlined the construction of multiple buildings with varying configurations, including single-family, two-family, and multi-family dwellings, though these specific proposals have since been refined. The approved project includes a mix of residential unit types, with the majority being three-bedroom units and one four-bedroom unit, along with a planned private open space area featuring decks, a parklet, sitting/view area, and picnic facilities. The development aims to enhance accessibility and safety with designated parking areas and controlled fire ingress/egress routes, and the entire project has gone through necessary environmental review processes, as indicated by multiple CEQA clearances issued for the proposed development.

Risk rating

How 599 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

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 14 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.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

Building age

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

Property class (A15)

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.8%
Moderate concern 28.0%
Severe concern 4.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
