Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Originally built in 1925, the property is well-maintained but shows signs of its age. The interiors have received some cosmetic updates, including newer shaker-style kitchen cabinets and laminate flooring, but the bathrooms and overall infrastructure remain dated. While functional and tenant-occupied, the century-old structure and basic finishes do not meet the criteria for 'good' or 'excellent' condition.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Development Upside

    The property sits on a generous 5,041 sqft lot, offering significant potential to add a third unit or ADU to maximize rental income and overall property value.

  • Operational Efficiency

    Each unit features its own private entrance and separately metered utilities, simplifying property management and reducing owner-paid utility expenses.

  • Strategic Location

    Centrally located near major freeways, public transportation, and shopping centers, the property benefits from strong and consistent rental demand in the South Los Angeles market.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Regulatory Restrictions

    The property is subject to the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), which limits the owner's ability to increase rents to market rates and manage tenant turnover.

  • Aging Infrastructure

    Originally constructed in 1925, the property may require significant capital investment for repairs or modernization of its century-old structural and mechanical systems.
