Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This 1911-built quadruplex is professionally described as well-maintained and move-in ready, with three units delivered vacant for immediate occupancy. The interiors feature well-preserved original hardwood floors and high ceilings. While the kitchens and bathrooms are functional and clean, they reflect older styling with basic cabinetry and a mix of appliances rather than a recent high-end renovation. The property's systems appear well-kept, and the overall condition suggests minimal deferred maintenance, fitting the criteria for a 'good' rating for a vintage San Francisco multi-family asset.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
- High Vacancy Flexibility
Delivering three out of four units vacant is a significant advantage in San Francisco, allowing for immediate market-rate leasing, renovation, or owner-occupancy without the complications of tenant relocation.
- Significant Value-Add Potential
The garden-level space with partial build-out and previously approved ADU plans offers a clear path to increasing the building's unit count and overall asset value.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =1999, other record lot size in square feet = 1873. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2760, other record living area = 3038.
- Limited Parking
The building offers only one parking space for four (potentially five) units, which may be a deterrent for high-income tenants with vehicles despite the excellent public transit access.
- Underperforming Local Schools
Many of the immediate neighborhood's public schools have low ratings, which could limit the property's appeal to families and impact long-term tenant diversification.
About 559-561 Minna Street

Garden-level space with partial build-out for a potential 5th unit (per owner, ADU plans previously approved by the city; buyer to verify status).
