Angel Investor and real estate "entrepreneur," Sarosh Kumana is the new owner of the Claridge Hotel, the largest SRO Hotel in Oakland. There have been a large number of evictions at the Claridge, and there seems to be some re-vamping of the hotel with the introduction of Pinecrest Apartments. He is the owner of SFRents, holding many multi-unit properties in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Claridge Hotel showed 257 eviction notices filed with the Oakland Rent Board between 2011 and 2016. Between March, 2014 when Kumana purchased the building and Feb, 2015, 70 eviction notices were filed.
