Condition Rating
Poor

While the property features recently remodeled kitchens and bathrooms (2023) with modern finishes and appliances, and a newly permitted ADU, the critical issue of extensive unpermitted work on the other units significantly impacts its condition. The property, originally built in 1923, carries inherent risks due to its age, and the unpermitted renovations introduce substantial legal, safety, and financial liabilities. Rectifying these unpermitted upgrades to meet code and obtain proper permits could require significant repairs and rehabilitation, despite the cosmetic improvements. The seller's explicit disclaimer of warranty further underscores the potential for undisclosed issues, leading to a 'Poor' condition assessment.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Strong Income Potential: This is a 4-unit rental property, including a newly permitted ADU, offering substantial and diversified rental income streams for an investor.
Prime Location: Centrally located in desirable North Alhambra with excellent proximity to Pasadena, enhancing tenant demand and property value due to access to amenities and employment.
Recent Unit Upgrades: Multiple units feature recent remodels (2023 kitchen, new flooring) and a newly completed ADU, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Tenant-Friendly Features: Individual laundry hook-ups (for most units) and separate electric/gas meters provide convenience for tenants and efficient utility management.
Good School Access: Proximity to highly-rated schools (e.g., Alhambra High, South Pasadena Senior High) can attract families, contributing to stable tenancy.

Cons

Extensive Unpermitted Work: A significant portion of unit upgrades were completed by a licensed contractor without permits, creating substantial legal, safety, and financial risks for the buyer, including potential fines or required remediation.
"As-Is" Sale with Warranty Disclaimer: The explicit "as-is" sale and seller/agent disclaimer of warranty strongly indicate potential undisclosed issues or significant deferred maintenance, requiring extensive buyer due diligence and potentially costly future repairs.
Owner-Paid Water for All Units: The owner is responsible for the water bill for all four units, which represents a considerable ongoing operating expense and reduces the property's net income, impacting profitability.
