There is a sink…Kitchen sink.
Unless it’s a commercial establishment, I would doubt it’s a requirement. Although, I do think it’s a requirement of new homes to have bath with toilet, sink and shower/and/or tub.

Joe,
It is NOT a bathroom then.
A bathroom, by definition, is (in the NEC) "Bathroom. An area including a basin with one or more of the following: a toilet, a tub, or a shower."
From the IRC:
"BATHROOM. An area, including a basin, with one or more of the following: a toilet, a tub or a shower."
And,
"BATHROOM GROUP. A group of fixtures, including or excluding a bidet, consisting of a water closet, lavatory, and bathtub or shower. Such fixtures are located together on the same floor level."

Jerry hit it. It is not a bathroom. Therefore it is a water closet. Sorry don’t know the code for this . I would not right it up. Water closet off the kitchen no recomended service.This is not unusuall, lots of toilets off of the kitchen . They are just toilets .
– I have put the past behind me,
where , however, it now sits, making rude remarks.

I would write it up as being unsanitary (no basin), and also state that it is NOT a bathroom. Thus, if the house was 2 1/2 baths, and this was the ‘1/2’ bath, it was really only a 2 bathroom house. That should have some financial impact on lowering the price.

As an appraisor, we consider a toilet only as a 1/4 bath. As an inspector, I still consider it a 1/4 bath, although I would comment (only) that no lav in the same room.

William,
I've had a couple of those nasty nose-blocking vacant home inspections. I'm amazed that people can live that way.

That reminds me of traveling when I was a kid. Before there were any convienence stores you could only “go” at gas stations. It seemed like 1/3 of them looked like that. When the convienence stores came along and started serving food (and had to meet health dept. guidelines) it was a great day for America.
