The owner has taken incredible care of this place - with a new roof, brand new furnaces and appliances less than 3 years ago (converted to natural gas). 

These tanks can contain anything from waste oil to gasoline, for example if there was a gas station there in the 1950's, those tanks could possible have never been removed and can easily cost 10's of thousands to be remediated.

If you go the natural gas route, you want to make sure there are meters there for all floors or you need to call the natural gas company.
