Scan the Block · for lender or underwriter
The collateral's record, read before the appraisal is ordered.
The assessment and the prior year on one row, the use class, the tax class and the land area from the Integrated Tax System Public Extract, the FEMA flood zone and panel read at the point, and every permit issued against the lot.
The questions it answers
- What obligations transfer at close?
- Are there open permits on this building?
- What does the roll record for this lot, both years?
- Does San Francisco publish liens or defaults?
- Is there a retrofit deadline attached?
- Which flood zone is it in?
The sections that earn their keep
FEMA flood zoneThe lender's map, distinguished from the city's own storm layers — with the panel and its effective date.
The building's permitsOpen permits are open liabilities; the report counts them rather than assuming completion.
Assessed value, reassessed annuallyThe District sets the figure each year and nothing freezes it at the last transfer, so the prior year beside it is a movement rather than a step.
What changed hands nearbyTransfer activity on the block from the roll, labeled as assessments, never as prices.
Nothing here needs a compliance read.
The report contains no scores, grades or rankings — no safety rating, no school grade, no
neighborhood letter. Those are the classic proxies for what the Fair Housing Act protects,
and this product refuses them by design: you get counts, comparisons and sources. It names
no person, and it is not a consumer report.

How to read a Washington reportWho keeps which record in the District, why an address here needs a quadrant, and the pair of numbers this city publishes that most cities do not.Why the District asks which quadrant1st Street exists four times over. The quadrant is not decoration on a Washington address, it is part of it, and a report cannot be run without one.This year's assessment, and last year's beside itThe District publishes the current assessment and the prior one on the same row. That pair answers a question a single number cannot.What Washington files, and under what nameThe permit type column does not say what the permit is for. The subtype does, and knowing that is the difference between finding a demolition and finding nothing.
