Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

The property at 2531 Helen (parcel no. 15009800.) is a single family dwelling located in 

the 5R529 Island View A.B. ECF. The property is listed as "Fair" condition. The average 

selling price for this ECF is $57.00 per square foot. The petitioner's price per square foot 

is $45.33. The average selling price per residential dwelling in this ECF is $114, 591.
