Initial analysis

The property at 485-487 Crestmont Drive is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1968, currently owned by Minuth Revoc Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being completed in 2016 when the terra cotta chimney tiles were replaced with a new metal Class A chimney system, including gas fireplace modifications costing approximately $9,000. Prior renovations include a substantial kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2008 ($60,000), window and door replacement in 2007 ($18,475), and various improvements in 2005 including the construction of new deck and stairs at the front entrance ($30,000) and installation of a new fence and gate ($3,000).

The property has experienced some maintenance issues in recent years, with two sewage-related incidents reported through 311 calls in late 2023 and early 2024, including a blockage in November 2024 from a side sewer vent and an incident involving an out-of-catch-basin discharge. There has been a recurring issue with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with multiple reports documented between 2023-2024, though most were resolved relatively quickly with vehicles being gone on arrival or towed in one instance (November 2023). The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, as evidenced by the various permitted improvements and successful completion of corresponding inspections, with no major safety concerns or violations recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 485-487 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, 9 are predicted to be safer.
