You could also try doing some door knocking and that will only cost you gas to get there.

Natural gas to heat up a 2000SF home at 69F is about $650/month, easy.

I'd consult a professional, you don't want to get on the wrong side of proper-disposal laws.Electric furnaces are pretty common and cheaper than oil or gas to install from what I've read.

Because there is gas present, current safety practices require a damper clamp that prevents the damper from closing completely, thus allowing any gas to escape instead of flowing into the living space.

In fact, the local gas utility has stopped providing gas to new construction, and renovations where gas was cut off and had to be turned on again because they claim there's not enough gas capacity.The expeditor I used was aware of all of these issues, so after much discussion, the unit was turned into an office, which is what I used it as.

My gas guy (independent contractor) has more than once suggested that I modify my gas meter setup, moving from 4 meters (one per unit plus one for common area gas to laundry and boiler) to just 1 meter.

We make it safe by turning off gas to the specific appliance that has the leak or the entire property if we cannot isolate the leak source with an appliance valve.

I'd imagine the owner will be paying all water/sewer/trash/recycling, as well as the electricity and gas to the property (if applicable).
