Quote from @Ricardo Polanco: Good evening everyone, I am evaluating the possibility of buying a multifamily property in Scranton, at this moment it has 2 apartments that only need cosmetic repairs and it has a big 2nd floor unit that needs a full repair.

The 6.8 was some 65 miles south of me, I was on the 2nd floor of an office building that shook so hard for a minute that people were having problems staying standing up.

I think you are looking at the wrong places, insulating the floor wouldn't change much. 

Luxury vinyl floors, no carpet means quick turn arounds.  

Roof white owned all hispanic.. hvac white owned white workers. dry wall  white owned all hispanic  insulation white owned all hispanic.. flat work hispanic owned all  hispanic workers,  floors and tile  Eastern block owned Eastern block workers speak no english do incredible work.

LL would have no incentive to paint, update flooring, etc.  

If not, the only requirement may be filing plans with the dept of buildings.One of our contractors does the bulk of his work on contracts with NYC.Mainly work related to bathrooms & tiles/flooring, I will shoot you a PM if I can get any information on this.All the best!

A contractor was there that day to fix the floor, and said there was not problem with the heat.

The couches and other furnature are outside on the porch, trash piled up, broken floor tiles and unkept yard. 

Upgrades include a fully remodeled kitchen, renovated bathrooms, new durable flooring, contemporary fixtures, and efficient heating and cooling systems.
