For me, I had several cracks in my concrete foundation and the sidewalk running alongside the house was several inches above the foundation, so water was pouring in through the brick and over the top of the foundation.One company suggested running tarp (there's a fancier term) along the inside of the problem walls, then drainage tiles to a sump pump.

The city is working to make this area nicer so the street has had sidewalks and some lighting installed.

Check to see if you have to install any manholes, fire hydrants, curb, gutter, sidewalks, street signs, street lighting any specific street design or access requirements, Check DOT requirements for access, stop lights and permits, traffic studies, DWQ requirements for permits, permit fees and time frames.Once you have an idea of what you can build and what is required in terms of permitting and infrastructure you want to talk to some civil engineers, architects and commercial general contractors that do the type of projects and build the type of buildings you want to build so you can get an idea of costs, time frame and requirements.

If the driveways/walkways are shared, then it falls on the landlord to remove the snow as others have mentioned.Also, make sure to have a plan to get rid of the snow on sidewalks.

They will reject a loan for a little bit of peeling paint, a cracked window, uneven sidewalks, wobbly hand rails - and that list goes on and on.In a conventional loan they typically only want to be sure that the major systems are functional. 

If it were mine (and I were selling it) I  would use the Avocado Green on all of the walls (because it goes well with the floor tone and is retro).I would also get rid of the green grass on the sidewalk cracks and have the sidewalk power washed to as white as possible.I would also 100% finish the basement to look as polished as the top floors.The bath with the glass door fits the unit type, the other two look like 1950's refurbished baths in comparison--kind of, you have to settle for them.As far as rentals go I'd call this a class A rental, how many people want class A rentals at this price point in this neighborhood???
