Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1963, this property is over 60 years old with no apparent major renovations in decades. The images reveal an extremely outdated and neglected interior, particularly the bathroom with its 70s/80s floral wallpaper, old fixtures, and general disrepair. Flooring throughout is dirty, stained, and worn, including old linoleum/tile and matted blue carpets. The exterior shows boarded-up windows, indicating significant deferred maintenance or security issues. The overall condition suggests substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required, and the property is likely unsafe or very uncomfortable to live in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' classification.
