sometimes when I do research on a properties I see building code violation regarding abandoned building. they are standard and : CN193000Maintain building in safe condition so it does not constitute actual and imminent danger to public. (13-12-130, 13-8-100, 13-12-120, 13-12-125, 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1) Maintain building windows and doors in safe condition. (13-196-550) Maintain stairway and porch in safe condition. (13-196-570) Maintain floors, walls, and ceilings in safe condition. (13-196-540) Maintain building in safe condition.

•Personal items cannot be kept in common areas including front and back porch, parking lot, laundry room, halls and stairways.

The other things it will need is fixing a section of the fence in the backyard, putting a railing up for the stairway to the basement and shampooing the berber carpets in the two bedrooms and hall.

There is common stairway access to the unit, and considering adding an egress window to make it compliant. 

The stairway also has matching carpet.I am considering replacing the carpet with LVP.

Is there a stairway in the property? 

They are a bit pricey but the adjustable ladders are a lifesaver sometimes, changing a bulb on a stairway, etc.

Is there a door at the top or bottom of the stairway that can be locked?

The rooms are small and the stairway to the second level is treacherous.
