Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 96 Crestline Drive, owned by Vgd Family LP, was constructed in 1966 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. The property underwent reroofing work in 2016, following a similar project completed in 1988, demonstrating some attention to maintaining the building's infrastructure. However, in late 2016 the building faced multiple violations requiring prompt attention, including leaking interior surfaces, deficiencies in fire escape decks/landings, and issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarm compliance, all of which were notably abated by January 2017.

More recent concerns persist, with an active complaint from March 2018 regarding ceiling leaks, musty smells, and weather proofing issues at the roof. The building's fire safety systems have required attention over the years, with violations noted for sprinkler/standpipe systems in December 2017, alarm systems in 2016, and extinguishers in 2009, though these were generally promptly corrected. The property has experienced multiple routine housing inspections and has faced various maintenance challenges, including problems with interior surfaces requiring painting and building code compliance issues. While there have been nine documented fire incidents at the address, none involved civilian injuries, and most were related to false alarms or system malfunctions. A tenant buyout was recorded at a nearby property (163 Skyview Way) in April 2018, though this is not directly related to the Crestline Drive building.

Risk rating

How 96 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 27.1%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 51.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
