Verification
What we verified
| Fact | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ask $850,000, listed 2026-05-13, no price cut since | verified | the 2026-08-25 feed row and the live listing (verified 2026-08-23) both carry $850,000, and the listing's price history shows a single listing event with no cut and no relisting |
| Two dwellings | corroborated | units-concordance returns corroborated on five witnesses: the DataSF secured roll seed assesses 2 dwellings on APN 4158066 for the 2025 roll year, the listing's units chip and Duplex subtype both read 2, its prose describes two mini-residences, and the two-bath count bounds it. No conflicts recorded |
| 752 sqft total, 2 baths, built 1946 | corroborated | the 2026-08-25 feed row and the live listing (verified 2026-08-23) agree on all three, and the city's historic-status record for APN 4158066 carries the same 1946 build year |
| Bedroom count per dwelling | diverges | the feed carries 2 beds for the whole building; the listing's beds field reads 0, which is the absence marker and never a claim of zero; and building permit 201708215424 describes the two existing dwellings as efficiency units. property-dossier refused a registry bedroom class on this address for exactly this reason |
| Both dwellings vacant, no rent in place | stated | the listing text calls it a vacant duplex; no lease, estoppel, rent roll or stated gross rent exists in any artifact we hold, and property-dossier records no tenanted signal |
| Two DBI complaints on the parcel, one Active | verified | city-records overlay on block 4158 lot 066: complaint 202538064 filed 2025-05-23 (overgrown vegetation, plywood over the doors, overflowing mailbox, caller says abandoned) went to a director hearing 2025-10-16 and was abated 2025-12-05; complaint 202659283 filed 2026-07-14 reads 'Vacant building' and is still Active with no abatement date |

| Two distinct building permits on this parcel, ever | verified | re-counted from the DataSF building-permits census on block 4158 lot 066 (census pulled 2026-08-24): three rows, of which two are byte-identical copies of permit 201708215424, leaving two distinct permits |
| Permit 201708215424, filed 2017-08-21 as a $350,000 site permit to go from 2 dwellings to 4, CANCELLED 2024-07-02 | verified | DBI building permits census (DataSF i98e-djp9), block 4158 lot 066: existing units 2, proposed 4, R-3 to R-2, description covers a horizontal and vertical addition with two new 2-bed 1-bath dwellings and an interior remodel of the two existing efficiency dwellings |
| The other permit is a December 1989 over-the-counter job to install one aluminum window in an existing frame; issued 1989-12-29, expired 1991-04-08 | verified | DBI building permits census (DataSF i98e-djp9), permit 8925499, declared cost $220 |
| Planning project 2017-010940PRJ opened 2017-08-25, closed 2020-03-23, net unit count 4.0; preceded by project review 2016-014483PRV, closed informational 2016-12-07 | records | city-records planning overlay, block 4158 lot 066. The PRV description proposes four units of affordable housing by adding a three-story two-unit building behind the existing one, on the assumption that ADU code changes allow the count. A record status of Closed does not by itself say approved or denied, and the decision document was not read |
| A Notice of Special Restrictions was recorded against the parcel on 2020-01-31 under project 2017-010940PRJ | records | city-records NSR overlay, centroid-in-parcel-polygon join: document '2109 22nd St NSR-20200131162453'. The document text was not retrieved, so what it restricts is unread |

| Inside the Priority Equity Geographies special use district; the air-pollutant exposure layer returns a hit whose feature carries no attributes | verified | city-records zone joins on the parcel centroid: specialUseDistricts one hit, airPollutantExposure one hit with an empty property bag |
| Not on the mandatory soft-story list; no liquefaction, landslide or Maher row; no cultural or community-benefit district; no Rent Board petition or appeal within thirty meters | verified | city-records overlay: each of those layers records looked=true and returned zero rows for this parcel |
| Historic status CEQA category B, 'No evaluation and 45 years or older' | records | city-records historic-status join on APN 4158066, data as of 2026-05-12 |
| 2025 tax $14,643 on a $1,146,137 assessment; 2024 $14,166 on $1,123,665; 2023 $13,860 on $1,101,634 | stated | the listing's own tax history, verified 2026-08-23. These are totals with no line breakdown, self-reported by the listing page, and they are the only tax figures in evidence for this parcel |
| No measured FY 2025-26 secured tax bill | unverified | no SF Treasurer pull for account 4158-066 this pass, and APN 4158066 is not among the four FY 2025-26 secured bills we hold, so the tax line stands as modeled |
| The assessed value sits $296,137 above the ask, so a sale resets the ad valorem basis downward | records | the listing's tax-history assessment of $1,146,137 against the $850,000 ask. California resets the base year value to the purchase price on a change of ownership, in either direction |
| Last sold $1,048,000 on 2019-10-17; the ask is 18.9% below that. Earlier sales $850,000 (2016-04-29) and $355,000 (2002-06-10) | verified | the listing's price history, corroborated by its own sale-history block |

| No Rent Board tenancy could be attributed to this building | unverified | property-dossier narrowed block 4158 to three candidate clusters that each match a two-unit building and refused to guess among them; the bedroom-sum and vintage discriminators were both non-discriminating |
| Only three banded 2-4 unit sales in this ZIP over 36 months at this building's size, too few for a per-foot comparison | records | our 36-month sold-comps sweep for 94107 (2026-08-21): 60 swept, 59 deduplicated, 58 priced, and the size band holds 3 |

- Tax bill at this ask
- $14,705/yr
A bill on the roll belongs to the seller. A sale resets the assessment, so the figure above is what a buyer at this ask would owe.
Community facilities district: unchecked: with no secured bill in hand, neither a Mello-Roos or CFD special-tax line nor the parcel's ordinary direct charges have been read either way. About $1,088 a year of non-ad-valorem charge follows from the listing's own totals, without a single line of it being named.
