A lot of people in the current fire area had their insurance canceled lately and are really screwed, Reminds me of Florida and the insurance problem caused by the hurricanes. also thing of the Lahina fire on Maui there was no forest there freak down slope winds and buildings that were built with very dry timber with no fire protection in mind.. this stuff happens.If were gonna use fires as a measure of "good" or "bad" than Canada is hell and most of the country should evacuate because holly-heck do they have fires galore. 

We have winter dry out with fans.. the guy who owns that has thousands of fans going in the northwest..

I am assuming in this that normal cleaning was done pre-occupancy and they are excessive in their expectations.

In 2021 we bought the building for $1.5M using private lenders, pushed the occupancy from 50% to 80% occupancy and it appraised for $3.125M, allowing us to pay back the private mortgage.Right now, we are in the predevelopment process of design and piecing together the capital stack for the redevelopment deal, which will be made up of historic tax credit equity, RestoreNY Grant, DRI Grant, etc.

Are you only referring to damages in excess of the deposit?

Rent control measures, burdensome employment regulations, and excessive administrative requirements exemplify this.

So many of the builds I've visited, some multiple times, seem to be frozen in time: the homes are dried-in (roof paper, windows and doors), tiled floors, drywall installed, and then a dead-stop.

I think though now with this new law it gives the state an easy track to regulate compliance  IE you either gave the disclosures or you did not you either have the disclosures on your website and marketing or you dont.. be very cut and dry for enforcement. 

Seems like this thread has unfortunately dried up a bit! 

If you didn't budget your rehab correctly, and don't have access to more money, you will be stuck (this is also true if you buy with cash without any excess money).
