Property Inspection Report Received

Hi BP quick question: Currently under contract on a property and received the inspection report. A few concerns popped and I'm wondering based on those findings how common is it to ask for a reduced price and/or to fix several items in the report?

main concerns are 

Common areas

  1. rusty railings and delamination
  1. porch roof leak
  1. exterior wood rot on soffit and Fascia (roof is 2 years old?)
  1. various windows would not open
  1. wood rot on the deck
  1. the extensive growth all over the house (as lindsey mentioned when we saw the property, it looks like the lawn maintenance has not been done in awhile)

Basement

  1. possible mold
  1. evidence of moisture (not a huge concern, but still noted)
  1. wood rot
  1. amateur repair on the main water supply line (fairly concerning because we'd have to pay a plumber to take a look)

Apt 1

  1. Light switch did not work when we visited
  1. hot and cold plumbing lines reversed
  1. water marks in bathroom ceiling. potential leak. (this is the apartment that was just renovated)

Apt 2

  1. The inspector was unable to access the bathroom on the third floor because it was so cluttered
  1. Much of the apartment was not able to be inspected because it was so cluttered
  1. potential asbestos in fireplace
  1. A light switch did not work
