AddressIntel AI Briefing

Built in 1905, this low-coverage home with explicit 'needs work' signals is the ultimate teardown candidate. An SB 9 lot split to build up to 4 new units is the highly optimal play to tap into the $1.6M ARV ceiling. Liquefaction is a factor, but the low entry price of $600k provides massive margin to absorb all construction costs.

ADU Potential

Feasibility Score94/100
Max ADU Units2 (ADU + JADU)
Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage16.5%

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~108 ft frontage × 143 ft deepa tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway. A second street frontage lets an ADU take its own entrance and address.

Screening heuristic based on lot size, existing coverage, lot orientation, and hazard overlays. CA ADU law is ministerial statewide; verify max size, setbacks, and JADU owner-occupancy with the local planning dept.

Seller Motivation

Motivation Score15/100
Low motivation
Fixer / needs work

Inferred from days on market and listing-description language (e.g. "as-is", "estate sale", "motivated seller"). A screening heuristic for likely negotiability, not a statement about the seller's circumstances.

Redevelopment Potential

Redevelopment Score65/100
ClassTeardown candidate
FAR Utilization37% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+1,736 sqft

Small, older home using a low share of the allowable building envelope on a sizable lot — a scrape-and-rebuild or major-expansion play. Zoning allows roughly 2,744 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap — treat as approximate. Source: SJMC 20.30.200; 20.100.1020 (Single-Family House Permit) (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.
