More Insights
Built in 1905 (121 years old).
Condition: Built in 1905, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer unit' and is currently in the R.E.A.P. (Rent Escrow Account Program), indicating significant code violations and habitability issues. There are also unpermitted unit divisions and potential ADU roof damage, pointing to substantial structural and legal problems. While the provided images show a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom with modern grey cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated flooring (likely from the ADU or a specific unit), these isolated updates do not outweigh the property's overall poor condition, which requires extensive repairs and rehabilitation to address safety, soundness, and compliance issues.
