Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the building had a major renovation in 1995-96 including foundation, electrical, and plumbing upgrades, these systems are now nearly 30 years old. The property features modern vinyl windows, but the lack of recent interior updates to kitchens and baths since the mid-90s places it in the dated category requiring minor repairs and modernization.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3067, other record lot size in square feet = 2250.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 8, other record bedroom count = 6.
- Lack of Dedicated Parking
The property does not list any designated or off-street parking spaces, which can be a significant drawback for tenants in a dense San Francisco neighborhood, particularly for large multi-bedroom units.
