Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 391-393 Crestmont Drive, located in the Forest Knolls neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1978 and currently owned by the Shui Hing Lei Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with particular attention to structural integrity and modernization of living spaces. Most recently, in April 2023, dry rot repairs were undertaken on the entry walkway, including replacement of approximately 50 square feet of walkway and rotted framing, though the affected siding was not visible from the street.

In 2021, the building underwent substantial renovations including the removal of a bearing wall with the addition of new post and beam support, a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel including fixture replacement and electrical upgrades, and associated plumbing improvements. The building has a history of maintenance and upgrades, including balcony replacement work in 2011, reroofing in 2006, and a horizontal addition completed in 1988. The only recorded incident of concern was a non-offensive graffiti incident in April 2022, which was resolved through the city's emergency legislation and did not result in any penalties. The property matches the typical maintenance pattern of older residential buildings in the area, with regular updates to address wear and tear, particularly focusing on structural components and modernization of interior spaces.

Risk rating

How 391-393 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
96th percentile

Out of 50 buildings in this neighborhood, 2 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.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.6%
Moderate concern 6.6%
Severe concern 1.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
