Condition Codes

2. Unused-Fair Unused property that is usable without repairs, but is deteriorated or damaged to the extent that the utility is somewhat impaired.
3. Unused-Poor Unused property that is usable without repairs, but is considerably deteriorated or damaged. Enough utility remains to classify the property as better than salvage.
4. Used-Good Used property that is usable without repairs, and most of its useful life remains.
5. Used-Fair Used property that is usable without repairs, but somewhat worn or deteriorated and may soon require repairs.
6. Used-Poor Used property that may be used without repairs, but is considerably worn or deteriorated to the degree that remaining utility is limited or major repairs will soon be required.
7. Repairs Required-Good Required repairs are minor and should not exceed 15 percent of original acquisition cost.
8. Repairs Required-Poor Required repairs are considerable and are estimated to range from 16 to 40 percent of original acquisition cost.
9. Repairs Required-Poor Required repairs are major because property is badly damaged, worn, or deteriorated, and are estimated to range from 41 to 65 percent of original acquisition cost.
X Salvage Property has some value in excess of its basic material content, but repair or rehabilitation to use for the originally intended purpose is clearly impractical. Repair for any use would exceed 65 percent of the original acquisition cost.
