Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Despite two units having recent interior remodels (new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, and lighting), the property's primary value is explicitly stated as its 0.72-acre R3 zoned land for redevelopment into 21-30 units. The original structure was built in 1898, and the presence of a dilapidated warehouse further supports that the existing structures are not the long-term asset. The 'remodeled units' are presented as temporary income generators during the planning phase, indicating the structures are intended for demolition to realize the land's full potential.

The 1898 year built for the existing structures may necessitate significant demolition costs or extensive renovation if parts are to be integrated, adding to overall project expenses.
