My next door neighbor at the time turned out to be the entrepreneurial type who was also a "mail order minister" (until the IRS shut down the "Church of Life").

She was also telling the other tenants that there were code violations and the building was being shut down.

The more you make the more you can give to church, missionaries, street "bums" ;-) (Phoenix Rescue Mission), etc and the more time you have to "help give a hand up".

It's in between my high rise and another high rise to the right of it (and a Catholic Church in front). 

How many people need to get ripped off before they get shut down?

It seems a lot like the company Equity Build that was shut down by the SEC.

But the building inspector has been giving us a hard time and insists on inspecting the framing, insulation, dry wall, etc. with the same scrutiny as the "sample" rooms and threatened to get us shut down if we don't follow his schedule.

Seemed impossible to a man who brought his 4 children with just $400 cash and a $5000 debt to the Lutheran Church for the flight to the US.

This should have been a simple open-and-shut case where you present your deed as proof, tenant gets thrown out, and everything is fine. 

If they're in her name she will pay them when the utility company shuts off the services.
