So far, we've made it a point to invest in improvements that will increase the value of both units (like a new driveway, new porches which were formerly eye sores, etc).

Some may want newer houses so re-wiring or new HVAC won't be an issue.

A nuisance property shall be any property which is in violation of the Borough property maintenance requirements by being in a substantial state of uncleanliness, disorder or disrepair; any property substantially damaged by fire, flood or other natural disaster; any property determined to be uninhabitable by the Code Enforcement Officer; or any property which is occupied by any tenant who has engaged in any or all of the following conduct:1.

I can however look back on when I was in the Peace Corps in East Africa and remember a couple great examples: One day, I am waiting on a bus from my village and this other whitey (we stuck out like sore thumbs) walks out of the bush and onto the bus.

The neighbors LOVED that I (or anyone for that matter) was coming in and fixing up the eye sore... anyway, i was renting the top floor to my step daughter while rehabbing, and she had this boyfriend that she was trying to get rid of who kept coming around and hanging out (stalking) her at all hours...

That one eye sore compromises the real value of your units in that without maintenance it will invite bugs and other issues.
