Verification
What we verified
| Fact | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 3 legal units | corroborated | DataSF secured roll (APN 6981047) + the listing's subtype 'Triplex' + listing prose naming 217, 217-A and 217-B; the treasurer bills the parcel as 217-0217B Holloway Ave |
| 2,200 sqft, 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms | corroborated | our listing feed and the live listing agree on all three, and the listing's per-unit figures add to each of them exactly (1,075 + 250 + 875 sqft; 4 + 1 + 3 beds; 4 + 1 + 2 baths) |
| Built 1908 | corroborated | feed, listing, and the city's historic-resource row all carry 1908 |
| Ask $1,199,900, day 37 on market | verified | our 2026-09-01 listing-feed pull and the live listing agree; the 08-18 and 08-31 views of the same page carried the identical figure, so the ask has not moved across three readings |
| The third unit is a separate building at the rear of the lot | verified | listing prose ('Rear Separated Building 217-B'), photo frame 15 (exterior stair, door reads 217 B), and the treasurer's parcel address 217-0217B |
| FY 2025-26 tax bill $8,878.76, both installments paid | verified | SF Treasurer secured portal, bill #20250436538; ad valorem plus direct charges sum to the total to the penny |
Show the other 5 checks
| Fact | Status | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Stated gross rent $4,995/mo for the building | stated | the gross rent we verified on the live listing; the listing never says how many of the three units it covers, and one room inside the front flat is occupied |
| Cautious model credits $5,252/mo for the two rented units alone | diverges | the registry's in-place medians for a 1bd and a 3bd in this ZIP total more than the whole building's stated gross; the rent section runs the verdict at the stated figure and reports what happens |
| Sold October 2003 for $480,000 | verified | the listing's price history; three fire-repair permits were open on the parcel that year |
| 2 DBI complaints on the parcel since 1994, neither active | verified | DataSF DBI complaints census, block 6981 lot 047; abated 2008-04-29 and closed 2014-05-12 |
| 16 listing photos analyzed, 2 flags, citation-checked by eye | verified | photo-capex stage v4 (2026-08-31); one observed count was left unconfirmed at the check and is recorded as such |
