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

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.
