It's bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this "house" is probably miserable.
The liminal backroom/vaporwave aesthetic hallway in the master bedroom is what really got me. Finally numbed to the siding, office chairs, and carpet and then the hall of mirrors comes in to seal the deal.
Does Arkansas just not have building codes? Surely they can't actually sell it like this. There is no way you can bring this monstrosity up to code for less than the cost of burning it down and building something else.
Arkansas is I think the only state that doesn't enforce habitability for rental properties. By that I mean a landlord could rent you an apartment that is unlivable, like if it had black mold, or say literally didn't even have a roof, and as a renter, there's nothing you could do about it except walk away including any money you'd already paid in rent.
Building codes also vary by state/county/local. Some of these tiny towns probably have much lower standards with building codes.
I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I'm mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn't have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of
modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.
Bonus: they're gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.
