Condition: This property, built in 1973, has suffered significant damage from recent storms, including water intrusion through both floors and visible mold inside the building and garage.

The exterior image shows severe disrepair, including a dilapidated deck and weathered siding, consistent with the description of extensive damage. While not explicitly stated as 'beyond repair,' the defects are significant enough to affect safety and soundness, making it currently unsafe or very uncomfortable to live in, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
