Rent & eviction protection

Is 183-185 Caselli Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1964

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1964
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 183-185 Caselli Avenue, owned by Akash Sharma, was constructed in 1964 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a sewer lateral replacement in September 2023 and various bathroom and kitchen renovations between 2019 and 2021, with proper permits obtained for all work totaling approximately $53,000. However, the building has experienced some serious issues in the past, particularly in 2013-2014 when there were multiple violations related to water damage, mold/mildew, and concerns about lead-based paint, which were all abated by November 2013. During this period, the unit was also improperly converted from residential to hotel use, which was subsequently corrected through an administrative permit in 2014. There were several complaints about potential overcrowding in 2014, when it was reported that excessive occupancy occurred in the upper unit while being rented to multiple tenants.

More recent history shows relatively fewer concerns, with only one complaint in 2021 regarding unpermitted construction debris removal, which was marked as not active. A single carbon monoxide detector activation incident with no confirmed CO presence was recorded, with no civilian injuries. The property has seen regular maintenance and improvements, as evidenced by the multiple renovation permits and recent sewer work. There is a history of parking-related issues in the surrounding area, with several 311 calls recorded between 2019 and 2024, primarily concerning vehicles obstructing sidewalks, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. All building permits, plumbing work, and electrical improvements have been properly completed and documented, suggesting improved compliance with regulations compared to previous years.

Risk rating

How 183-185 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
94thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 77 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
