Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1945, shows signs of regular maintenance but the residential units, particularly the kitchen (Image 7), are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older-style laminate countertops, dated light-colored cabinets, and older white appliances (gas range, refrigerator). While functional, these elements suggest a renovation that occurred 15-30 years ago, or a lack of significant updates since original construction. The residential bedrooms (Images 6, 8) have basic carpet and simple light fixtures, indicating a lack of modern upgrades. No residential bathroom images are provided, but based on the kitchen, it's likely they are similarly dated. The commercial space (Images 3, 4) appears more recently updated, but the residential components are the primary focus for this assessment. The property is livable and maintained, but requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1560, other record living area = 3104.
- Age of Property
Built in 1945, the property may have aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that could lead to higher maintenance costs or require significant capital expenditures in the near future.
- Limited On-Site Parking
As a mixed-use property in a dense urban core like Midtown, dedicated on-site parking for both commercial customers and residential tenants is likely limited or non-existent, which can be an inconvenience.
