Initial analysis

The 55 Crestline Drive property is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by the Gregory K Low Childs Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a soft-story retrofit in 2014 with the addition of shear walls at the lower garage level to comply with seismic safety requirements, followed by other major work including re-roofing projects in 2017 ($55,000) and 2007 ($18,400). In 2005, substantial maintenance was performed to address dry rot, involving both removal and replacement of affected wood and stucco work. The building's fire safety systems were notably addressed in 2003 following multiple fire safety violations, which included installing fire extinguishers in hallways and certifying the central alarm system, with all violations being abated by May 2003.

Recent history shows continued attention to building safety and maintenance, with a 2023 fire alarm system issue being promptly corrected by September 2023. The property has undergone routine housing inspections, including one in 2011, and previously documented complaints from 1995-2001 addressed various maintenance issues such as leaks, paint conditions, and pest control. While there has been significant recent activity (October-December 2024) regarding parking enforcement calls for what appeared to be an abandoned vehicle situation near the property, these were consistently determined to have "No Merit" or resulted in vehicle compliance with parking regulations, and are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to violations and complaints, with no active violations or major unresolved issues currently on record.

Risk rating

How 55 Crestline 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
68th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 55 are predicted to be safer.
