Seems likes it easiest to meet face to face and write down all of the + and -I know every inch of this city and surrounding areas and have bought, sold, managed great properties in just about every part : )So I can share with you what your scenarios will look like in 3 years, 5 yrs, 10 yrs. and brainstorm cash flow, tax write-offs and equity strategies with you.I retired in 2013, so this is pure fun for me.

I saw 6 inches of missing water pipe fixed with newspaper and spray foam once (no pipe at all) .

For example:Egress window is not to code by 3 inchesAdded 2 rooms, and closets are not framed deep enough for a standard hangar to fit (seriously)Added a bathroom, did not properly vent the toilet and shower (Sewage was ventilated to the laundry room....yeah.)Framing in bathroom around toilet was 1 inch off square (now you see why I fired him)There is a lot more, but you get the point.

I found a disassembled scythe up there with a 30-inch blade.

I'm talking about a 3-inch pipe coming up through the wall and existing through the ceiling to the roof.

Let me know of anything else I should be concerned about.I'll copy and paste the report below: FLOOR-STRUCTURE The visible floor structure consisted of a tongue and groove subfloor, supported by two-inch by ten -inch wood joists spaced sixteen inches on center.

He eventually completed the 40' long steel beam repair and lifted the house 4+ inches back into place. 

Run wire (not barbed; trying to get rid of them - not keep them) from a few inches above the ground, then up a few feet, repeat until at about calf/knee height.  

When my inspectors go into an attic space, they can be up there for 15 - 20 minutes, walking every inch of it and taking plenty of pictures along the way. 

There is currently no way to escape the courtyard unless you a) go through one of the three residential buildings, and b) through a 1-foot wide space between one of the residential and commercial buildings (which i think cannot be considered a legal "pathway" or "means of egress".To obtain higher rents from the first floor unit, we are looking to enclose our portion of the courtyard with a fence (8 feet tall) and build a decking system (elevated 6 inches off the dirt floor).I'm worried about what the fire inspectors may say to this?
