Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Poor
TeardownExcellent

Property is extensive renovation needed.

Built in 1964, this property shows significant signs of aging infrastructure and outdated finishes. The kitchen features original or very old white cabinets, dated laminate countertops, and an older electric range. The bathroom has a basic, older vanity, faucet, and tile surround that are clearly from an earlier era. Throughout the unit, there are popcorn ceilings, old dark maroon carpeting, and inefficient window AC units and wall heaters. While the property appears clean and functional, it requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization of the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and HVAC systems to meet current quality and aesthetic standards. There is no evidence of major renovations in the past 30-50 years, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
