Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1911, this property is over a century old. While the listing mentions 'recent capital improvements' to common areas and ten units, the property analysis explicitly highlights 'Historic Building Age' and 'aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical)' as a weakness. The limited scope of updates (only ten units out of many) combined with the overall age and acknowledged aging systems suggests that a significant portion of the property, including many kitchens and bathrooms, likely remains outdated and may require further updates or repairs. The exterior images show a well-maintained but clearly historic building, consistent with an aged property that has received some upkeep but not a full, extensive renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Exceptional Location: Situated in the highly desirable North Beach district of San Francisco, offering walking distance to Washington Square Park, Columbus Avenue, Chinatown, and the Financial District, ensuring strong tenant demand and property value.
Diverse Income Streams: The mixed-use property comprises 2 commercial units, 8 apartments, and 19 single room occupancy (SRO) units, providing a diversified revenue portfolio and mitigating risk.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Includes 4 bonus unwarranted units, 4 unwarranted commercial rooms, and a basement with ADU potential, offering substantial opportunities to increase rentable space and maximize income.
Recent Capital Improvements: Common areas and ten units have undergone recent updates, enhancing the property's appeal, reducing immediate capital expenditure needs, and attracting quality tenants.
Substantial Building Size: With 10,875 square feet of building space on a 4,901 square foot parcel, the property offers significant scale and rental capacity in a prime urban market.
Cons
Historic Building Age: Built in 1911, the property is over a century old, which may imply aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) and potentially higher ongoing maintenance costs or future renovation requirements to meet modern standards.
SRO Unit Management Complexity: The presence of 19 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units can involve specific regulatory challenges, more intensive tenant management, and potential limitations on tenant demographics or rental rates.
Unwarranted Units Risk: The existence of 'unwarranted' units and rooms presents a potential legal and financial risk, as they may require significant investment to legalize or bring up to current building codes, or face compliance issues.
