We’ve started to realize that the experienced companies are the ones that discuss getting an asbestos survey prior to knock-down (the house was built in the 1930s), disconnecting utilities, getting surveys, etc.

They make stackables with 110v so you will probably not need to upgrade the main disconnect though I would have a licensed electrician run load calcs to confirm.Before any of this however I would ask yourself what part of town you are in. 

When a property has had utilities disconnected for greater than X (for me this was 1 year) it will require coordination between the local township, contractors and the utility company.

That's when 2 houses share one sewage connection and if they need an easement, you would too.In Portland, you have a problem and they'll make one party disconnect and do a separate hookup which can get expensive with digging and govt connect fees.

(a) A municipality, utility company, or other company supplying home heating oil, propane, natural gas, electricity, or water to a building who issues a final notice proposing to disconnect or discontinue the service to the building because a landlord who has contracted for the service has failed to pay for it or because a landlord is required by law or contract to pay for the service and fails to do so must provide notice to the residents of the impending disconnection by posting the building.

Got so upset that in the end, he refused the fridge entirely- and disconnected it (his 3rd one), and threw away brand new stove burners that I purchased for his personal ($$) stove.

A cable that was working and now isnt is usually a disconnection somewhere in the line.

Jason, this is the disconnected between insurer's and investors that pisses investors off.

e.g. the only possible way you can make a SF cash flow is by buying distressed (not just a light cosmetic refresh), but I see some investors want a turn key @ 15-20% down; there's some disconnect somewhere. 

I noticed the pipes were intentionally disconnected at the meter and other low point to allow the water to be properly drained when winterized.
