Hidden Costs of Investment Property in Baltimore Maryland

I am putting together a packet for my out of state owners regarding specific Baltimore costs. I am trying to illustrate how it is more important to make tenants responsible for utilities in Baltimore than elsewhere. I made the below table using the internet and one of my own rentals in north east Ohio (similar cash flow market). Am I missing any Baltimore specific costs?

Baltimore city water is $2.26/ccf, and sewer is $6.160/ccf. Storm water is a flat fee of ?$2/mo.
It looks like your amounts are off for those costs in the city. (Sewage should be ~3*water).
How do you heat a property in NE Ohio? Electric is cheaper, and no other fuel listed.
Don't forget all the code enforcement fees that the City throws around. 

Then there is the cost of the city sucking the joy out of life anytime you try to improve your property.
