And then this guy PUT THE DUMPSTER ON THE SIDEWALK.

I am a first time home buyer and I decided that building would be the best way to go....joke's on me.Background: In August of 2016 I paid cash for two improved lots (ie: has sidewalks, paved street, utilities stubbed out), each one a 1/4 of an acre for a total of $9,995.

Hello again @Andrii Okipnyi according to the City's website it is the owner and occupants responsibility to clear sidewalks/walkways.

fix the garage foundation, fix the sidewalk, the interior paint I could use, etc. every year it was something, and I was always why wasn't this reported with the other so called violations last year, it was like they were looking for stuff.Also, I had to pay the utilities and I would get reimbursed later through the rent, with the PM, which I always had a dispute with on the amount to reimburse, as the PM's didn't trust the tenants to pay their bills.I'm just glad to be out!

It is just a matter of where you pay for the experience because you will pay for it one way or the other either in college or sidewalk university or both.Good luck!

@Gordon Johnson if you want the water to be separate you will need a new line from the city water at the sidewalk, new in for power, new meter, new electrical panel, re-work some wiring, add water heater, re-work some plumbing; and a whole bunch more if you have central heat and air.

It's not going to be any cheaper than putting in PVC unless you have to demolish significant sidewalk and asphalt.

Power wash driveway and sidewalk. and then lower price.
