179-181 Caselli Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 179-181 Caselli Ave, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Horwitz Marital Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past decades. Most notably, in recent years, the building was the subject of multiple street space permits in 2018, while earlier maintenance work included a completed reroofing project in 2015 following a previously cancelled attempt.

The building has faced various structural and safety issues throughout its history, including the replacement of rear egress stairs in 2006, removal of an exterior wood ladder in 2011, and repairs to subfloors, dry rot, and back stairs in 1986, indicating ongoing attention to maintaining the building's structural integrity. The property has experienced several compliance and safety issues that were subsequently resolved, including multiple violations in 2001 related to handrails, gas appliance ventilation, and security features, as well as a 2014 complaint regarding a clogged drain under the building and possible fire code concerns in the basement storage rooms.

A series of routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 2001 and 2014 recorded various violations that were eventually abated, though some permits from the 2000s, including a 2006 rear egress stair replacement, are listed as expired. More recently, in 2024, there have been minor issues reported through 311 calls, including concerns about toters being left out and illegal parking, though these are external to the building itself and primarily related to street conditions. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and prompt response to identified issues, with most violations and complaints being addressed and resolved through proper channels.
