The building contains one two-bedroom apartment, two one-bedroom apartments, and one studio apartment. Kitchens include laminate countertops, wood cabinets, stainless-steel sinks, and 20? or 30? gas ranges. Bathroom finishes vary by unit: three bathrooms have modern vanities and one has a wall-mounted sink; tubs include a mix of cast-iron and steel with ceramic-tile or vinyl surrounds. Flooring consists of hardwood in living areas, vinyl in kitchens, and a combination of vinyl, ceramic tile, or laminate in the bathrooms.
Utilities:
The property is heated by a Central American Radiator gas-fired boiler with hot-water radiator distribution. A central 40-gallon gas-fired water heater supplies hot water. The building is set up with five electric meters and five gas meters; one for each apartment and public service. A landlord seeking to reduce operating expenses could explore billing back the central heating and hot water to tenants and improve cash flow.
