Verification

## What we verified

Fact

Status

Source

4 legal units, four 1bd/1ba flats

corroborated

the listing's subtype, its prose ('four large one bedroom units, all of which are currently tenant-occupied'), and the meter room's five subpanels labeled 519 A through D plus House in the photo frames

4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3,030 sqft, built 1907

corroborated

our listing feed and the live listing agree on all four, and the one-bedroom-per-flat mix sums to each total exactly

Ask $1,598,000

verified

our listing feed and the live listing agree; listed April 10 at $1,698,000, cut 5.9% on May 7, and 144 days on market at this reading

Measured gross rent $10,468/mo across all four flats

verified

stated on the listing with a clean denominator for once: the prose says all four units are tenant-occupied, so the per-unit average is $2,617

Two flats carried recent rental-campaign asks of $2,600 and $2,900

verified

property-manager ad frames embedded in the sale gallery, each chip reading 1 bed / 1 bath with a monthly rent; direct per-unit witnesses that bracket the $2,617 measured average

FY 2025-26 tax bill $20,755.50 on a $1,555,397 assessment, both installments paid

verified

SF Treasurer secured portal, bill #20250373479; ad valorem plus direct charges sum to the total to the penny; current owner since November 23, 2022

Fact

Status

Source

Direct charges run $2,360/yr, led by a $967 SoMa West Community Benefit District assessment

verified

the bill's levying-authority table; the district was established in 2019 and runs to June 2034, and the charge does not move with price

The FY 2023-24 bill was paid late, both installments on one day

verified

the treasurer's account history: $10,816.70 and $10,871.70 both paid 05/28/2024, against the following year's on-time $10,075.35 halves; the amounts are consistent with delinquency penalties

Sold November 2022 for $1,495,000

verified

sale history on the listing; the ask is 6.9% above that sale after one 5.9% cut from the April relist at $1,698,000

3 DBI complaints since 2004, all routine, none active

verified

DataSF DBI complaints census, block 3726 lot 054: two routine inspections and one apartment-house health-and-safety inspection, all closed

The 2004 renovation permit was issued and never marked complete

diverges

DataSF building-permit census: a $150,000 renovation of the four-unit building (exit stair, light-well infill) issued November 2004 with no completion date, and a $60,000 kitchen-and-bath permit for '4 studio apt' that expired; the finished interiors in the photos exist, and the paper trail behind them stops short

40 listing photos analyzed, 2 flags, citations re-anchored

verified

photo analysis pass (2026-08-31) with citation check on 2026-09-01; both flags' citations had drifted onto bedroom and bathroom frames and were re-anchored to the garage frames; two observed counts did not resolve by eye and were dropped before rendering

11 facts checked against a named source. 1 we could not settle. 9 open questions, written out in the underwrite.

Assessor

## What the roll says

Assessed value

$1,555,397

Rate used

1.33%

Tax bill at this ask

$18,899/yr

With parcel charges

$21,259/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: none: no Mello-Roos or community-facilities line, but the direct charges deserve the same scrutiny a CFD would get, because they total $2,360.12 a year and the largest of them is a district assessment with a 2034 expiration
