So,  If I'm walking down the sidewalk and a car driving by shoots at me, I should go after whoever made the sidewalk?

On the other hand, I did inherit a tenant who would mow my grass, clean up the sidewalk, etc. and be my eyes and ears around the building for my commercial retail strip.

Many states or cities have no restrictions on using ice melt on sidewalks, but have penalties for not properly clearing sidewalks.

If i remember right in my town your sign needs to be 3 feet on the other side of the sidewalk.

Don't hire the cheapest guy on the block, check their sample reports on their website, if their report is 15 pages long and has 3 pictures of a heaved sidewalk they are not the inspector for you.

And be sure to specify who is responsible for snow removal - for example my leases state that landlord will clear parking lot but tenants are responsible for removing snow and ice from sidewalk in front of their space.

@Jerard GrahamI like to check for:- water- sewer- sidewalks- how level is the land- how much rock will I need to move- does the seller have a previous geotech I can look at- easements

It's a city of 80,000 collecting taxes to attempt to cover debt and maintenance costs of a city of 140,000.If the new mayor cleans up and streamlines the bureaucracy, invests in basic sidewalk maintenance and cleaning, and maybe lowers some of the more business-unfriendly taxes, as opposed to pursuing a conventional Growth Ponzi Scheme strategy, Scranton has a chance at revitalization.

But consider rather these benchmarks to follow when judging a given neighborhood.What I like to look at are the visual tangibles and emotional apsects of what appeals or doesnt unappeal to your senses. 1) Neighborhood Infasctructure: What are the condition of the streets and sidewalks.

Your child runs on the street, a cars swerves out of the way and kills somebody on the sidewalk.
