718 Tehama St is in **SoMa (94103)**. What I can see publicly is that it looks like a **small, standalone 2‑story building** (about **2,700 sq ft**, built **1935**) and is categorized as **industrial** in property records, not a typical apartment building. ([propertyshark.com](https://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/30530030/718-Tehama-St-San-Francisco-CA-94103/))

A couple businesses are listed at that address (Wine Syndicate; Mise En Place / staging), which suggests it may be **commercial or live/work** rather than straightforward residential. ([mapquest.com](https://www.mapquest.com/us/california/wine-syndicate-llc-400552357?utm_source=openai))

If your lead is to *live* there, I’d sanity-check these before getting excited:
1. **Is it legally residential / live-work?** (Ask for the certificate of occupancy or the unit’s legal use.)
2. **What exactly is being offered** (whole building vs. unit, furnished/month-to-month, etc.)?

If you paste the listing link (or screenshots/floorplan + terms), I’ll tell you what it *actually* is and any red flags fast.

That could be a great stopgap, but “babysit while work is done” has a few landmines in SF. I’d nail down these points before you move in:

1. **Is it legal/safe to live there right now?** Ask if it has a residential or live/work **certificate of occupancy**, working heat/hot water, smoke/CO detectors, and whether any permit work makes it temporarily non-habitable.
2. **Construction realities:** What work, what dates, will there be demolition/dust/fumes, and **when/where will workers need access** (hours, notice, keys/lockbox).
3. **Liability + insurance:** Who’s responsible if there’s theft, injury, water damage, or a contractor incident. You should have **renters insurance**; they should confirm their property/contractor coverage.
4. **Money + paper trail:** Even if it’s discounted, set a clear **monthly amount**, what it includes (utilities/internet), and how you’ll pay.
5. **Exit/termination:** Put a **start date + end date** in writing and what happens if construction runs long. (In CA, once you’re there ~30+ days you can end up with tenant-style protections, so clarity up front protects both of you.)

If you tell me what your friend proposed (rent, start/end, what work is happening), I’ll turn it into a simple, friendly written agreement you can both sign. If you want, I can also check SF permit/zoning info for 718 Tehama to sanity-check “ok to reside.”


text: calm down.  i just want to know about the neighborhood.


text:
718 Tehama is in **SoMa (94103)** on **Tehama St**, a narrow side street/alley that runs **between Howard and Folsom**. ([sfchronicle.com](https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/nativeson/article/SF-s-industrial-past-high-tech-future-collide-11760822.php?utm_source=openai))

Neighborhood vibe (around 7th/8th-ish):
- **Urban + mixed-use**: warehouses/light industrial, offices, live/work, some housing; less “cute neighborhood,” more “city blocks.” ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_of_Market%2C_San_Francisco?utm_source=openai))
- **Transit-convenient**: you’re close to **Civic Center / UN Plaza BART/Muni** (Market St between 7th & 8th). ([bart.gov](https://www.bart.gov/stations/civc?utm_source=openai))
- **Tenderloin-adjacent** if you head north toward/over Market near Civic Center. ([transit.wiki](https://www.transit.wiki/Civic_Center/United_Nations_Plaza_Station?utm_source=openai))
