Initial analysis

The 14-unit, 2-story apartment building at 88 Crestline Dr, owned by William G Ayoub, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1965, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3), fire alarm replacement in 2016, and multiple unit renovations. Recent records indicate persistent maintenance and safety concerns, with multiple active building violations as of 2021 related to security, interior surfaces, plumbing, electrical systems, and fire safety. A comprehensive complaint filed in June 2021 documented issues including malfunctioning main entrance doors, damaged fixtures, ventilation problems, sliding glass door concerns, egress obstructions, and electrical outlet repairs that remain unresolved. The building has a history of water-related issues, as evidenced by a sewage backup incident in November 2024 and earlier complaints about mold and structural problems.

The property has undergone various unit improvements over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 12, 9, and 2, electrical system upgrades, and fire safety improvements. However, there are concerning patterns in the complaint history, particularly regarding maintenance response times and safety code compliance. Notable historical complaints detail issues such as mold, plumbing concerns, lighting problems, and security violations. The building's compliance history shows several fire code violations between 2006-2016, though many have been resolved through subsequent corrective actions. While recent maintenance permits show ongoing efforts to improve the building's systems, the accumulation of active violations and recent complaints suggests continuing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 88 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

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 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.

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 30.3%
Moderate concern 22.8%
Severe concern 47.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
