More Insights

Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is 75 years old and shows significant signs of age and neglect. The listing explicitly states the presence of four unpermitted units and active 'Notice to Comply' and 'Notice of Non-Compliance' from the City of Los Angeles, indicating substantial defects affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets and busy granite countertops, though it includes a newer, high-end stainless steel range. Other areas display dated flooring (mix of older laminate/wood and some newer grey laminate in what appear to be unpermitted units) and basic, older light fixtures. The absence of geological reports and ongoing neighbor litigation further underscore the need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While some areas might appear functional, the extensive legal and structural issues mean major components require significant repair or replacement, and the property is far from meeting current quality standards, aligning with the 'Poor' classification.
