Initial analysis

The property at 64-66 Caselli Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Chin Emerson. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns occurring recently. As of September 2022, there were active complaints regarding structural problems in the laundry room area, mold/mildew in the bathroom, and non-functioning windows in the second-floor unit (64), which are particularly concerning given their impact on habitability and resident comfort. The building has a documented history of electrical safety violations, including hazardous wiring in crawl spaces and a problematic electrical panel replacement in 2008 that resulted in penalties. Earlier issues from 2006-2007 involved multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, broken windows, and repairs needed for stairs and handrails, though these were officially abated in 2012.

The property has undergone various repairs and improvements, including a comprehensive window replacement project in 2007 ($8,000) and multiple permit applications for various completed works, though some permits were initially issued for street space usage. There have been periodic concerns about illegal modifications, including unauthorized construction and electrical work in 2015, which were subsequently investigated and recorded as not active. More routine maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking concerns, with the most recent parking-related interactions occurring in 2023. A fire safety inspection in September 2020 regarding combustible materials was found to have no merit. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building's most recent active complaints from 2022 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that merit attention.

Risk rating

How 64-66 Caselli Ave'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.
