They will likely also need to close any access points to satisfy city inspectors that the now capped chimney cannot be used to "vent" anything in the future.You will likely want a demo team that is much cheaper to do the actual demo and haul off, but you need either the mason or an engineer to stipulate how far down they can/should demo, while leaving enough room for the cap to be effective and maintain any structural rigidity into the future to not create more issues.Long story longer, I would call more licensed, insured contractors.

Hi everyone-We haven’t been able to get renters for our 3 bedroom, 2 bath property in Barryville, NYNow that we are entering into November we are worried that it will be vacant for the winter.Property manager has mentioned AirBNB / STR as an option but with property being empty for 4-5 months now ( long story - last tenants left it in shambles). we are debating whether to sell it as funds are scarce.I’m currently using zillow and posting on FB.Any other resources anyone can recommend for a rural community ?

I have heard of success stories with direct mail as well.

I know it will lead to a breakthrough at some point but any tips or success stories would help.
