Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1928, the property's interior, particularly the kitchens and bathrooms, are severely outdated and show significant wear, appearing to have had no major renovations in 30-50+ years. Both kitchens feature old cabinets, laminate countertops, and dated appliances. The bathrooms have vintage yellow and black tiling, old fixtures, and show considerable age. Stained carpets are present in one unit, and cooling relies on window AC units. While the roof (2021) and electrical panels (2020) are recent upgrades, the overall interior condition requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards.
