This property, built in 1950, is in 'poor' condition due to significant legal and structural issues. The MLS description explicitly states the presence of four illegally built, unpermitted units, and the City of Los Angeles has issued 'Notice to Comply' and 'Notice of Non-Compliance.' This indicates major defects affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While the main kitchen features a professional-grade range, the cabinets, lighting, and overall style are dated. Other areas of the main house show dated laminate flooring, old light fixtures, and some wood paneling. The 'additional units' appear to have more recent, basic cosmetic updates (e.g., grey laminate flooring, white walls), but their illegal status overshadows any superficial improvements. The property is far from move-in ready and requires extensive work beyond minor updates, including addressing the legal and structural non-compliance, making it a high-risk investment.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 35395, living area = 1950.
