Are these mealy bugs? They are on most of the leaves. Previous owner says the plant “just needs to be cleaned and put in sunlight”.
I am new to plant care, all help appreciated!
Pot has drainage and previous owner did not disclose how much they were watering it. Seemed to be in direct sunlight at previous home.

Do you have any closeups? It’s pretty hard to see any individual bugs here…
From what I can see, the dark spots remind me of:

To me it looks like bird doo doo.
Looks like you have several issues here. I see the black fungus, that comes along with pests. !mealybugs treatment will work for almost everything except for thrips.
