Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 315-319 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.

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 1908
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 property at 315-319 Caselli Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years, with the most recent major interior work being a kitchen renovation in 2017 that included cabinet, countertop, sink, stove, and refrigerator upgrades costing $10,000. The building has experienced recurring issues with its rear wall and structures, with repairs documented in 2003 addressing leaks and decay, and earlier work in 2001 focusing on rear deck repairs and dry rot remediation. More recent infrastructure work includes underground sewer pipe repairs completed in 2008. The property has faced notable plumbing challenges, including a flooding incident in June 2020 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention.

Recent maintenance concerns have primarily centered around trees affecting the property, with multiple reports between 2021 and 2023 documenting issues such as overgrown trees, property damage, and sidewalk lift from tree roots. While these were generally addressed through pruning requests, one case from July 2021 remains open. The building's exterior and surrounding area have occasionally required general cleaning attention, with three instances of loose garbage reported in 2018 and one case in 2023, though these were typically resolved promptly. The property's historical maintenance record also shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a complete rewiring update in 2003 focusing on kitchen-related electrical work, reroofing in 1998, and various miscellaneous repairs documented throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 315-319 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
47thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 677 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
