hese things are always changing...and at some point we decided we needed to add a nice back porch to neaten up the rear elevation.

DSCR is new to me, I did some reading and am wondering if any of this is relaxed if you occupy the property (since I'd be living in the rear unit)?

Landlord runs out of courtroom crying, jumps in car, with tears in eyes blows thru stop sign because couldn't clearly see, cop sees and floors it to pursue and pull over but, in such a fit landlord threw on music as ear-bleed level to "just chill" so never hears the sirens, cop's thinking maybe it's a jail break, calls in backup, now there's a whole slew of cops in pursuit, chopper swoops in and it's on the news, now landlord sees a sea of lights in rear view mirror but it's too late, now it's live streaming and landlords boss sees and recognizes his star employees vehicle right away, and right as he was going to give a promotion.

Consider the rear view mirror is the best crystal ball, and the possiblity that becoming a student of history could be valuable to you as an investor. 

Working with that 4/0 aluminum wire was a big pain in the rear.

These measurements should include not only length of vehicle, but also length of wheel base, length from back axel to rear tongue, height of bottom of deck with a full load, etc.Your back end of the truck is usually where you will scrap, but I have seen situations where a truck will scrap underneath when going over a hump.  

The garage floor was heaved and broken and the rear foundation wall pushed out a good 2-3 inches.

There is an alleyway that has one entrance and is the only access to the 2 car detached garage in the rear of the lot. 4 years after purchasing the property and more than 30 years of the alleyway being used for access to the back garages (my house and 2 other houses) the owner of the vacant lot behind us demands that we buy the gravel alley way because it is a part of their parcel that they are trying to sell.

Setbacks and lot coverage standards accommodate front and side yards similar to U-SU-B but allowing a detached accessory dwelling unit building form in the rear yard.

We are finishing up a rehab on an early 1900s row home, but still having issues with water in the basement.Initially, there was some leaking in the front and rear of the basement- so we fixed all the downspouts, diverted any possible points for water.
