The two filings DBI holds for this parcel are street-space permits, one under each street number, and are not shown. Institutional addresses are usually deferred on this site; this page exists because the address was named in the prompting source. The parcel carries two EAS addresses, 470 and 480 Winston Drive, and the page is filed under the lower. The roll classifies this parcel as a vacant lot with no building area, no year built and no assessed value in every year from 2007 through 2025 — including the years the Sutro Library was open at 480 Winston Drive. On state-owned land exempt from the secured roll, the classification records the exemption rather than what stands on the ground, so the roll cannot say whether a building is there now. The roll reports no assessed land or improvement value for this parcel, so no split is charted.
