Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 61-63 Caselli Avenue, owned by John & Leslie Woodward Revo, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1918 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2017, including a $34,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel on the first floor, complete with new lighting, ceiling work, and associated plumbing and electrical updates. This followed earlier improvements such as a 2009 beam replacement and bathroom remodel at the bottom level ($22,500), and a 2011 bathroom leak repair ($4,000). A notable compliance issue arose in 2004 regarding an unauthorized 8x8 deck built on the property line and an improperly installed skylight, which resulted in violation proceedings and an abatement order that was ultimately resolved by May 2005 through the removal of the problematic deck and installation of a fire-rated parapet.

Recent infrastructure maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including ongoing concerns about tree roots lifting the sidewalk (2022) and a pavement defect (2024), though these do not directly impact the building's condition. The property's plumbing system has received attention, with documented sewer replacement work in 2011, and the building has undergone various electrical updates, including a 2010 storage room and bathroom wiring project. While the building has experienced several maintenance and service calls over the years, including a 2019 sewage backup incident and a 2014 parking enforcement issue, these appear to be typical for a residence of this age and type. The most recent building permit activity relates to street space usage in 2017, suggesting ongoing attention to the property's exterior maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 61-63 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 281 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast

Severe concern 6.9%
