318 Caselli Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

This 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 318 Caselli Avenue in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1901 and is currently owned by Thomas H & Allysonne Smith. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work being a comprehensive kitchen remodel completed in late 2023, including reconfiguration of walls, replacement of windows and doors, and updates to electrical and plumbing systems (cost: $150,000). Prior renovations include two bathroom remodels in 2021-2022, which involved substantial plumbing and electrical work, as well as upgrading the water heating system.

The building has received regular maintenance attention over the years, including reroofing in 2001, deck repairs in 2000, and remediation of dry rot in 1999. Recent concerns regarding the property primarily relate to infrastructure issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, sewer issues, and various street maintenance matters. Notably, there were three separate reports in 2024 about tree roots lifting the sidewalk, and a sewage backup incident in January 2024 that was subsequently resolved.

The property has also undergone some exterior modifications, including the replacement of windows and doors in the rear of the building, as documented in planning records. While these recent infrastructure issues warrant attention, it's important to note that they appear to be primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building's structural integrity or systems. The owners have shown consistent investment in property improvements and maintenance, as evidenced by the substantial recent renovations and regular upkeep of building systems.
