Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1930, this triplex is explicitly marketed as a 'value-add opportunity' requiring 'improvements' and 'significant capital outlay' to modernize aging infrastructure. The exterior shows signs of deferred maintenance, including weathered wooden decking and aged stucco. The absence of interior photos, combined with the 'value-add' description, strongly suggests that the kitchens, bathrooms, and major systems require substantial repair or full replacement.
