Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Built in 1914, this property retains its original architectural character but likely features outdated interior components. While the exterior appears well-maintained, the property analysis notes historic maintenance needs and potential system upgrades. Given the tenant-occupied status and lack of mention regarding recent renovations to the kitchens or bathrooms, the property is classified as fair, representing a functional but aged home that has likely not seen a major overhaul in over 15-30 years.
