What were the living conditions like in the Chavadi where Amir Shakkar was ordered to stay?

According to Chapter 22, the Chavadi where Amir Shakkar resided was in a dreadful state. The text describes it as an old, dilapidated building constructed by Malik Ambar, which was freely inhabited by lizards and poisonous scorpions. It was also a place where lepers stayed. The back part was filled with garbage and had seventeen knee-deep holes. The environment was characterized by dampness from below, rain from above, and a constant draft, making it a miserable place for anyone, let alone someone like Amir who suffered from rheumatism.
