Initial analysis

The property at 98 Crown Terrace, located in the Clarendon Heights neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building built in 1926 and currently owned by Michele Sweeney. The most significant recent improvement was a comprehensive renovation completed in 2014-2018, which included a two-story addition, interior remodeling, and installation of modern amenities such as two kitchens, three bathrooms, and one powder room, with a total investment of approximately $410,000. During this period, the building received essential safety upgrades including a complete fire sprinkler system installation with 33 heads ($18,000 in 2017) and improvements to the electrical system including a service upgrade to 175 amps. The renovation project did generate one building complaint in January 2017 regarding work purportedly exceeding the scope of the building permit, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

More recent history shows the property has undergone various maintenance and enforcement issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple citations for sidewalk parking violations and one pavement defect complaint still open as of March 2024. A tenant buyout occurred in August 2024, with one tenant receiving $5,100 to vacate the premises. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues including graffiti (resolved in 2023) and various street-related concerns. Historical permits show earlier work including reroofing in 1994, while multiple permits from 2016-2018 reflect the extensive modernization work carried out during that period. The building's fire safety systems appear to have been properly addressed through the 2017 installation of the sprinkler system, though some related permits have expired and were subsequently renewed or completed.

Risk rating

How 98 Crown Ter'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.
