seediest
Most run-down looking
Seediest is the superlative of seedy—the most run-down, shabby, or disreputable of a group.
A neighborhood might be the seediest part of town, with crumbling buildings and suspicious characters: We ended up at the seediest bar I've ever seen.
The word suggests moral as well as physical decay.
