Methodology & data notes

This reconstruction is compiled from Zillow dashboard records, rental-inbox screenshots, Redfin direct requests, and the chronological calendar / email history. A single property can have multiple evidence records across these sources.

  • The ledger is conservatively deduplicated into canonical properties. Records that share the same unit or property are merged into one canonical card, and the merged source IDs are shown on each card. Calendar and Redfin entries that overlap are grouped rather than double-counted.
  • 4034 Cesar Chavez St Unit 4 merges two Zillow submissions (12:32 PM and 12:36 PM on August 12, 2026) and a screenshot record as a single signed property. South Van Ness Ave Unit 140-429 is kept strictly separate from Unit 1024, and 1630 California Unit 408 from Unit 601.
  • Six placeholder leads from Radhika are marked as toured. They are placeholders and do not carry addresses.
  • Rents, deposits, and other figures are shown only where explicitly available. No unsupported monthly rents are asserted, and no personal email addresses or phone numbers are published.
  • The Zillow dashboard's 19 records are dashboard rows (2 in-progress, 17 submitted), not 19 unique properties. The two 4034 Cesar Chavez St Unit 4 entries are duplicate rows for a single signed property.
  • Zillow records show rent where known and an off-market state where the dashboard reflects it. Where the dashboard and email disagree, both facts are shown.
  • The 11 screenshot records are an evidence layer covering inquiry, tour / request, confirmation, negotiation, and lease stage. Some overlap with properties represented elsewhere.
  • The 8 Redfin tours are all confirmed by the user and are marked as confirmed tours.
  • Tours are marked as in-person or virtual. 1630 California Unit 408 was toured virtually on Thursday, August 13, 2026, distinct from the in-person tour of 1630 California Unit 601.
  • Six placeholder leads from Radhika are marked as toured. They are placeholders and do not carry addresses.

Rents, deposits, and other figures are shown only where explicitly available. No unsupported monthly rents are asserted, and no personal email addresses or phone numbers are published.
