6. Wiring to garage should be changed to a grounded system and wiring
shall be upgraded.
The building is very dated in the kitchen and bedrooms area. The living
room, dining room, and utility room were added in 1948, however, the general
conditions would qualify for a reasonable single family residence with exceptions
as noted.
