Initial analysis

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2 Crestline Dr in Twin Peaks was built in 1964 and is currently owned by Madison Holding LLC. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, including a completed soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $140,000, replacement of eight Federal Pacific main breakers in 2020, and reroofing projects in 1992, 1993, and 2009. Recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about improperly performing windows allowing water intrusion, and an unresolved issue from January 2024 regarding an unpermitted boiler operation that was still pending resolution as of May 2024.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, with multiple fire alarm system complaints dating back to 2010 through 2024 being corrected when brought to attention. Between 2003 and 2011, there were several fire safety violations including concerns about garage storage, fire escape ladders, and the central alarm system, all of which were subsequently abated. The property has experienced some infrastructure issues over the years, including reports of mold and mildew in 2008, and routine inspections raising various maintenance concerns. While there have been some fire incidents, including one related to a cooking fire and a carbon monoxide incident, none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's parking area has been the subject of multiple complaints for sidewalk parking violations between 2020-2021, though these incidents are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2 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.
