0 - Significant or Total Deterioration: Large-scale surface finish loss and/or failure, exposing stucco or stone beneath.

1 - Poor Condition: Significant areas of finish failure/loss. Unsightly peeling and/or flaking of finish.

2 - Moderate Condition: Stable structural condition. Significant, or terminally progressive loss of decorative finishes.

3 - Good Condition: Stable condition of finishes creating a protective coating over the stucco or stone beneath. Small cracks or worn areas may be evident, but overall protection remains.
