Yoriizumi Town, Niigata - ¥4.8 Million

Despite excellent urban location and surprisingly low price for central Niigata, the photos reveal a property in poor condition with aging infrastructure. The bathroom shows green water staining and discoloration; interior spaces are cluttered, dim, and show clear signs of age and neglect. The exterior reveals a ramshackle, uninviting structure. Most critically, regulatory restrictions requiring special permits for rebuilding severely limit appeal. This reads as a teardown requiring substantial investment, not a charming renovation project.

Photos show a 1958-built house with worn, cramped interiors and minimal natural light. The bathroom displays greenish water staining on tiled walls—a red flag for water quality or corrosion issues. Common areas are cluttered and dated. The exterior shot reveals a somewhat dilapidated wooden structure with minimal curb appeal. No standout photography; images are functional documentation rather than aspirational.

Urban teardown opportunity: central Niigata location with transit access and neighborhood amenities, priced for demolition and rebuild—if you can navigate the permit maze.

Water staining in bathroom suggests potential plumbing or water quality issues. Building requires special permits (Article 43-2-2) for reconstruction due to private road frontage—this is a major legal/financial barrier. Property fronts narrow private road (~1.5m). Sewage line routing unknown, indicating incomplete utility documentation. Building age (1966 with 1958 origins) and visible deterioration suggest significant renovation costs. Not suitable for simple restoration; best suited for investor/developer demolition play.
