Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1923, this triplex shows a mix of conditions. The vacant unit features modern updates including laminate flooring, updated kitchen cabinetry, and stone countertops. The listing also notes significant system upgrades like new roofs and copper plumbing. However, the property's overall age and the substantial 'upside potential' in rent suggest that the occupied units likely remain in a more dated condition, requiring further interior rehabilitation to meet modern market standards across the entire asset.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Significant Value-Add Potential
With one unit currently vacant and another available upon request, the property offers an immediate opportunity to reset rents to market rates, which are projected to be nearly double the current collections.
- Versatile Zoning and Development
The RD-1.5 zoning allows for residential, commercial, or mixed-use development, while the alley access provides the necessary infrastructure for up to six parking spaces or a future ADU.
- Recent Capital Improvements
The installation of new roofs and copper plumbing enhances the property's long-term durability and significantly reduces the likelihood of major near-term maintenance expenses for a new owner.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Aging Infrastructure
Built in 1923, the property is over a century old and may possess underlying structural or system issues common to vintage buildings that require specialized upkeep beyond the recent upgrades.
- Underperforming Local Schools
The majority of the surrounding public schools have low performance ratings, which may limit the property's appeal to long-term family tenants and impact future residential appreciation.
