seedily
In squalid fashion
In a shabby, run-down, or disreputable manner.
The adverb derives from seedy in its sense of worn-out or squalid: The detective's office was seedily furnished with a battered desk and stained blinds.
It suggests not just poverty but a certain moral grubbiness—the quality of places and people past their prime and possibly up to no good.
