Inspection revealed major issues with the property, some of which were not disclosed: evidence of foundation problem (stair-step and horizontal cracks, bowing towards the inside of the basement, uneven floors in units); basement leaks, roof leaks, 1 furnace is putting out carbon monoxide and needs to be repaired, etc.
