Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1911 building that is clean and move-in ready, but it lacks recent modernizations. The kitchens and 'vintage' bathrooms feature styles and appliances that appear to be several decades old. While the hardwood floors and structural elements seem functional and cared for, the overall aesthetic and major systems are outdated according to current market standards, requiring minor updates to achieve a 'good' or 'excellent' rating.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2217, other record living area = 1900.
- Unit Configuration Discrepancy
While tax records list the building as a 2-flat, it is currently configured as three units, which may present challenges regarding legal use, permitting, or future financing.

With a 1911 build date and 'vintage' bathrooms, the property likely requires capital improvements and modernization to appeal to high-end tenants or to maximize its long-term value.
