Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1908 (116 years old) and marketed primarily as a 'Development Opportunity' for redevelopment. While a new roof was installed in 2025, the lack of interior updates to kitchens and baths, combined with the extreme age and visible exterior wear, indicates the property requires a significant rehab to meet modern standards.

The property is ideally situated less than three blocks from the E Line and close to major transit corridors, providing convenient access to Downtown LA, Exposition Park, and University Village.
Featuring a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and the ability to be delivered vacant, the property allows for immediate market-rate leasing or commencement of cosmetic updates without tenant relocation hurdles.
Given the 1908 construction date, the property likely requires significant modernization of core systems such as plumbing and electrical to meet contemporary standards beyond the new roof.
The surrounding public middle and high schools have low performance ratings, which may deter long-term family renters and narrow the tenant pool primarily to students or commuters.
