Verification ## What we verified Fact Status Source 4 dwellings corroborated the seller's own prose enumerates the mix, "two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units and two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units", which sums to the feed's 6 beds and 4 baths exactly; the listing unit chip reads 4 and the property subtype reads Quadruplex; a standing verdict-ledger entry records 4 units for this parcel One unit vacant, three tenanted corroborated the listing states "one unit currently vacant and the rest occupied by reliable long-term tenants"; this is why the record states no tenancy-recovery section, the owner's own dwelling is the empty one In-place rent $8,900 a month corroborated the verified listing record of 2026-09-23 states a current gross rent of $8,900 against three occupied dwellings. That's a measurement, and it governs over any research band. No per-dwelling split is published, so how the $8,900 divides across the three isn't stated anywhere FY 2025-26 secured bill $13,663.14 corroborated Alameda County bill 03867500 on APN 15-1277-19-1, ad valorem 1.2779% on an assessment of $432,873 plus $8,131.46 of direct charges across 28 lines, $3,319.66 of which is a one-off EBMUD arrears line, so $4,811.80 recurs. The parcel number on the verified listing record matches the bill to the digit 2,916 square feet, built 1943 corroborated the listing feed and the verified listing record state the same square footage and the same build year 253 days on market at an unchanged price corroborated the feed's listing date and the verified listing record agree on both the asking price and the day count Condition of the kitchens and bathrooms divergent the seller calls the building well-maintained. Our review of 42 listing frames flags several kitchens and several bathrooms in impaired condition.
