A colleague did a complete teardown rebuild 18 months ago, and had to redo the driveway because it was a few inches too wide, costing $10,000+ to redo.

We just had a crazy storm that dumped a ton of water very quickly, which caused the well to fill up a few inches.

Minneapolis requires that any fence or wall or other structure be 4 inches (??

To make your internal/external siding resist both the shearing and axial earthquake response, you may have to install at least 5/8 inch thick plywood.

Interestingly, the people who lived there finished the basement, and built the floors about an inch up from the cement floor in that part of the basement, so at first we didn't know that was going on, since the water would go down the floor drain that was under that raised floor (no sump either), although we were really curious as to why someone would build up the floor an inch like that. 

The biggest being about inch wide. 

Something was actually screwed into the wall with 2 screws near the long crack and could have caused it.The crack in the basement [1] according to them has not moved in a long time - a possible explanation I got was that the wall in that part is weaker (4 inch) due to metal support beam being inside the wall.

It's door wouldn't fully open and it is currently full of storm windows (for windows that were replaced) so we couldn't get all the way in but from what we could see the exterior wall is floating in at least two places (1-3 inches of space beneath the posts).All together the inspector (who I found and is very reputable according to my agent) said I would be looking at $40,000 in repairs to do everything. 

@Robert Ablorh Absolutely- you are the future owner of the building, so you can inspect every inch of every unit.

It's six inches deep.
