""I've been doing inspections for 35 years. This is the worst property I've ever seen. There is nothing to salvage. It is a hazard and there shouldn't be anyone living there. It needs to be torn down.""
""You too could own this Berkeley deathtrap!""
A distressed four-bedroom home at 2200 Rose Street has been listed for $395,000 and is under contract with a developer for restoration. The property, which hasnât seen maintenance since the 1970s, is in poor condition, having severe structural damage and an ongoing water leak. Notably, it has a lifetime tenant, 83 years old, who will remain rent-free. Critics have labeled the home a 'Berkeley deathtrap,' with an inspector deeming it the worst property encountered during 35 years of inspections. This situation echoes the famous case of Jeanne Calment, who made a beneficial deal allowing her to live longer than expected.
