I had spoke with a Buffalo city court judge once about this and he had said they require storage for "a reasonable amount of time".  

I have a couple of duplexes in Buffalo and the management company i use believe they are unable to discriminate between section 8 or not.

hi. i am a landlord but i do not manage a 60 unit building. i agree with everyone, get a property management company to run things for you. i do a lot of work for a property management company here in the buffalo, ny area as a handyman. quite often, we handymen know of better and faster ways to get the parts you need than doing it on your own. that being said, a/c units have to have a licensed professional work on them anyway, but knowing how to get the parts faster is always a good thing. as far as the tenant threatening the police, lol, they won't even get involved. they have better things to do than worry about some joker sweating a little bit. you dropped off a fan, the tenant refuses to open the windows, which is on him, so he, himself is causing himself and his family more harm than you are. if he is worried about the high crime issue being on the second floor, lol, criminals work as little as they can. they sure as hell are not gonna scale the side of a building like spiderman just to rob this guys place of residence; unless he has a bag of money or gold stashed in the place, in which case he probably wouldn't have been late with the rent 6 times. my advice, continue down the path you are on. hire a property management company, boot this dumbass out the door when his lease expires and let him become someone elses problem. good luck

My wife's subaru spent 4 years in Madison, WI, and 4 years in buffalo.  

@Jim Zatko We have an REI Meet-up that gets together a Buffalo Wild Wings on 44th St in Grandville the second Monday of every month.

I've recently contacted my old classmate who went into being a relator, about information in the buffalo area.

And by the way us folks in Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo don't consider you to be upstate!!

I’d go upstate Rochester, Buffalo and pull some dup/triplex for $60k/door.

With the market entry becoming so high in Portland I am planning to invest back east and I am constantly researching the markets in Waterbury, VT and Buffalo, NY, both places where I have strong family/friend connections.
