# appliance

Appliances present at the property, as recorded in the source.

The question it answers

## What is this house, physically?

The feature vector, taken from the source of record rather than from a listing agent. Assessor and parcel records are authoritative; listing fields are agent-entered, inconsistent between markets, and absent entirely for a property that was never listed.

Other classes answering this question

## Why it matters

Appliances are a minor line in a valuation and a real one in a condition assessment: a property recorded with no appliances is either a shell or a record gap, and the two need different handling.

Two fields carry the content — the appliance type and its visible finish — and both are closed enumerations rather than free text, so an inventory aggregates across properties without a normalisation pass. The finish is what separates a recent kitchen from an original one where no permit exists to date it.

The source dictionary carries no definition for this class.

## In practice

Rows come from photograph metadata rather than from an assessor file, which is why an empty set means unobserved rather than absent. A property with no interior photographs on record carries no appliance rows at all.
