Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1912, this multi-family property's exterior shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance, including faded/peeling paint, worn wooden stairs, and unkempt landscaping. A window on the upper floor appears to have temporary insulation, suggesting potential issues. Crucially, there are no interior images or details about recent renovations. Given its age and the visible exterior condition, it's highly probable that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and interior finishes are severely outdated and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards for safety and comfort, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.

Desirable Feature (View): The property benefits from having a view, which can enhance its aesthetic appeal and market value, offering a pleasant living environment.
Cons
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1912, the property is over a century old, which may necessitate substantial investment in maintenance, system upgrades, and potential remediation for older building materials.
Subpar School Ratings: Several nearby public schools, including Hoover Elementary and Westlake Middle, have low ratings, which could be a significant drawback for families prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions.
Limited Lot Size for Multi-Family: The 4,646 sq ft lot size for a quadruplex is relatively modest, potentially restricting outdoor space, parking availability, or future expansion opportunities.
