The county file for this parcel is on its building page.

Four units on R2 land.

The city zoning layer puts this lot in R2, the two family zone, and the county roll lists four units on it. A building with more units than its zone allows today is the kind of thing a buyer checks first, because it decides what could be built there if the building were ever replaced.

A historic district changes the math.

The lot sits inside the Harvard Heights Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, and the city zoning map reads R2-1-HPOZ. Exterior renovations, additions and new construction there go through an added city review, and so do some changes that need no building permit at all, like paint and landscaping. That keeps the Craftsman details in place, and it also limits how fast and how far a buyer can change the building.
