We entered the driveway and when we saw the house it looked almost abandoned. There were weeds and grass, some of which were waist high, and bushes and trees that have been allowed to grow to the point of hiding front and reaching the roof. The weeds made it feel unsafe to even walk around outside for fear of catching ticks and fleas. On the front porch, which is unfinished and a hazard for young children, there were two large containers of used cans and bottles. These are a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies. No hand rails beside the steps, be careful!
Inside we found all sorts of incomplete or half done items, some of which were safety code violations. The smoke detectors have no batteries and probably do not work. There are no outdoor lights around the entry ways or anywhere else on the house. There is a light fixture above the kitchen table with a broken glass globe that is only held in place with what appears to be paper surgical tape. There was an empty television box across the entry to the basement with a sign the forbids entering. Behind that box is an unfinished pocket door hanging on rollers. If you accidentally leaned or fell against it you would probably fall down the basement stairs. There are several switches on the walls that control nothing, I'm guessing some were planned for outside lights but never finished. There is a sliding door from the kitchen area to the outside deck that does not lock (we bought a piece of wood to place in the track in order to secure the door). That same door has a screen frame, but no screen, so we could not open it during the day for fresh air inside. In the kitchen the single lever faucet has not been secured, and moves around as you try to turn on the water and swing the spout. The dish washer is broken (top rack does not wash). The island has not been attached to the floor and the counter top on the island has not been fastened down. If you happen to lean against it, it will move. The downstairs bathroom is not finished and has broken and missing mirrors. The walls above the tub/shower enclosure are cement board unfinished. Virtually everywhere you look there is half done work. Most of the windows are covered with spider webs to the point it interferes with vision.
Upstairs we were greeted with heavily stained carpet. The master bathroom is not finished. There is a whirlpool tub and the enclosure is unfinished so you can see all the plumbing and dirt underneath. A lot more!
