## 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

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
