This was one of my favorite before and after project pics where we opened up the ceiling to add a good looking stairwell to the upper square footage.

If it turns out to be a broken pipe in a wall or ceiling (likely here where we have freezing to worry about), then a few hundred is about right for the plumbing and sheetrock.

Just looked at GNNP home.Would cost too much to repair structural problems(huge crack in ceiling from house settling).

This can lead to leak in ceiling right as you walk into a unit.On certain centers being sold lets just say some developers ( talking in general ) are know to put up new centers that might like pretty on the outside but are built like junk and then put in lots of mom and pop tenants who have high risk of going dark.

I have a unit that has a small leak in the flashing outside the ceiling.

The ceiling height might not be high enough.  

I want them to see what it looks like to take a shot and they've got to see me speak on TV & stage, win awards & praise and they've seen me come home of stories of dead bats falling out of ceilings, cleaning up dog crap in dark basement corners, sucking out water from flooded basements for hours, bloodied, bruised, ect. ect. ect. and now be served with papers. 

Beyond that, with 38 fet of height you can avg. out to about 8.5 feet ceiling heights if you are to build 4 stories but that usually short changes the commercial space, so you may conclude 3 stories is more prudent (depending on the marketability of the commercial space and number of residential units you can build).2.

Eastie is definitely more price friendly and is an appreciating market as opposed to Southie where the value is at a ceiling. 

The architecture of the house has been maintained with hardwood floors throughout, floor to ceiling windows and 14 foot ceilings (although a pain when accessing anything like lighting).
