Condition Analysis

Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1909, has undergone some recent capital improvements such as a new roof, furnace, and electrical panels, which is positive. The commercial space appears functional with hardwood floors and good lighting. However, the description and images do not provide sufficient detail on the condition of the kitchens and bathrooms within the residential units. Given the age of the building and the lack of explicit mention of recent renovations to these key areas, it's reasonable to assume they may be outdated or require updates. Therefore, a 'Fair' condition score is assigned, indicating the property is maintained but likely needs minor updates, particularly in the residential kitchens and bathrooms, to meet modern standards.
