If you are replacing it, then which is the best weather resistant and environmentally friendly roofing.

They make you pay for a host of environmental surveys on top of everything else and like you mentioned, they take their sweet time.

If a landlord does not get the CofC:1) The Building Safety Engineering & Environmental Dept (BSEED) inspectors may issue the following tickets:- No property registration- No city inspection- No lead-based paint inspection- Renting without a CofC2) A landlord can then attend a Department of Appeals & Hearings (DAH) to challenge the tickets, but unless you have an active eviction, your chances are slim.3) Technically, if you start an eviction against a tenant, the court may throw out your case if you do not have a CofC. 4) At any time, a tenant can deposit their rent with the 36th District Court and the landlord will have 90 days to get the CofC.

Hello, I have a great interest in environmental sustainability and have read a few books on green real estate development such as "Green Home Improvement," "A Contractor's Guide to LEED Certified Construction," "Green Building and Remodeling for Dummies," and others.I like the idea of starting out small with my rentals where it makes sense - energy efficient appliances, using recycled materials when doing upgrades, with the possibility of branching into adding solar panels/doing green new build construction once I gain experience and know areas where it will be profitable. 

Hi,I am a new real estate investor and I was hoping experienced investors would be able to help me figure out how to set up a rehabbing business that focuses on going "green" and creating environmentally sustainable homes.
