Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1949, this property is explicitly described as 'needs TLC' and shows significant deferred maintenance. The images reveal heavily worn hardwood floors, old carpets, outdated kitchens with original or very old wooden cabinetry and basic countertops, and bathrooms with dated fixtures and tiling. Heating and cooling are primarily handled by wall-mounted units and window ACs, indicating a lack of central HVAC. The overall condition suggests substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required to bring the property to modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Mountain Avenue Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Rosemont Middle School (9/10). High School: Crescenta Valley High School (9/10).
Significant Income Potential: This is a multi-unit property (4 units, legally 3) with existing leases, offering immediate rental income and the opportunity for an owner-occupant to live in one unit while collecting rent from others.
Development Opportunity: Zoned R3, the property offers significant potential for future expansion or redevelopment, adding long-term value beyond its current use.
Flexible Unit Configuration: Two of the large 2-bedroom units can be easily converted to 3-bedroom units, providing flexibility to increase rental income or cater to a wider range of tenant needs.
Additional Income-Generating Spaces: The property includes a converted garage with a bathroom and a storage room with a kitchenette and half bath, further expanding its rentable footprint and income potential.
Desirable Location: Situated in Tujunga, a Los Angeles area, the property benefits from a good location with proximity to local amenities and schools, enhancing its appeal to tenants.
Cons
Requires Significant Renovation: The property 'needs TLC,' indicating substantial deferred maintenance and potential for costly repairs and upgrades to bring it to modern standards and maximize its value.
Age of Property: Built in 1949, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC) that may require significant capital expenditure.
Potential Legal/Permitting Issues: The discrepancy between '4 UNIT building;Legally 3 large units' and the mention of converted garage and storage room spaces suggests potential unpermitted work or zoning compliance issues that a buyer would need to verify and potentially rectify.
