The house got pretty well repaired after the house fire as the insurance company covered it if I remember right. And a full tear down and rebuild is a lot more rare than people think it is as the main supports of a house are generally pretty immune to more than people think. And while I didn't mention mold it has to get REALLY bad for it to be complete write off and not just a localized repair. The cat pee and dog shit is problematic but much less so then people think, especially if it's on linoleum like in a kitchen which is where the Chandler's let their animals shit if I remember right. Honestly the hoard protects a lot of the house from the pee and shit since the cats piss in the boxes rather than on the floor. While gross hoarders most of what Barb and Chris hoard is mostly harmless to a house unless the weight becomes extreme, which it isn't in this case.The structural integrity of the house would probably have to be a little bit screwed up after that housefire, we are not entirely sure how the inside of his house has looked for a good few years now as well since we don't have a comprehensive house tour video to go off. Honestly if there is so much mould, cat piss stained carpets, rotting wood and neglected home maintenance in there, no amount of high pressure cleaners and bleach is going to make the house somewhat presentable for it to be sold on the market again, I at least think the house will be mostly demolished (except for the foundations) and rebuilt, or they just knock it down completely and just subdivide the land for more houses, since the block is big enough for more than one house, if they do end up wanting to go that route.
Very unlikely I know, but I actually do see the potential for that house to be some sort of immortalised lolcow museums, we know that Chris has a large infamous following and depending on how the course of his story goes, people will be talking about him for decades to come, it could easily end up being a type of pilgrimage shrine/temple for christorians/weens/followers whatever, and it can end up being a Sonichu Goddess temple of sorts, one that Chris actually wanted all along, but not intending for it to end up like this.
Don't think whoever ends up with the possession of the property would want to do anything of the sort though, unless someone like Null wants to move in...
Basically from what I've seen from the videos the house is perfectly salvageable unless they've really fucked something major up like having a broken water pipe in a wall and just fucking ignoring it it's cheaper to gut the few rooms that are bad, replace the drywall, redo floors and then repaint everything than it is to demolish and rebuild the house. The consumer goods trash that Barb wasted all her money on from QVC isn't a big deal to deal with, just dumpster it the same as Chris's toys.
