Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1907, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance.

The bathrooms are very basic, with dated fixtures and visible wear. Walls throughout the units appear discolored, stained, and show peeling paint. The exterior also indicates a need for substantial upkeep.
