An owner user living in the just remodeled now vacant Unit 950 separate house could always self-manage and maintain. Records, tools and supplies could be stored in the extensive spaces under the Unit 950 house which at times in the past had been used by prior owners as a storage area, workshop, and laundry. Those underneath areas have a separate exterior door and are not part of the house’s square footage according to the 2024 appraisal. Those areas also have electricity, hot and cold water, a drain and windows to the common area deck and even a bit of a City Skyline view. The owner has been told the drain should have a vent which it does not have. This is the perfect view property for a handy DIY owner user who would like to have the tenants’ rents help to pay the owner’s mortgage.

In addition to the unit 950 separate house having a large exclusive use deck, in the middle of the lot are two common area decks with amazing views.

It may be possible to install coin operated units to increase the NOI too but that is a question for the buyer’s rental rules experts.
