In some homes the vin is on a sheet of paper glued inside the door of one of the kitchen cabinets, to the door covering the electrical panel or on the door by the furnace.

@Ryan Ross It is a doctrine that grew out of lawsuits dealing with new construction and municipalities shares of "affordable housing." i.e. the Mount Laurel cases.

@Kevin Allen - These are for Chicago, but likely very similar for other local housing authorities...MOST COMMON FAIL ITEMSInoperable light fixtures and improperly wired electrical outlets (reverse polarity, open ground, hot neutral reverse, etc.)Deteriorated and unstable paint on surfaces (peeling, cracking, chipping, etc.) in units built prior to 1978 where children under the age of six reside or will resideMissing, inoperable or incorrectly mounted smoke and carbon monoxide detectorsBroken or inoperable windows (cracked glass panes, broken locks, drafty frames, etc.)Exposed electrical wires/connections (light fixtures missing globes, electrical junction boxes missing cover plates or knockout plugs, breaker boxes with open sockets, etc.)Broken/faulty door locks and drafty doorsCutting hazards, including protruding sharp nails pipes/metals objects with jagged edges,deteriorated sheet metal, cracked glass blocks on windows,etc.

The house was beach pink with doors falling off, crap all in the yard, smelled like a cigarette, moldy carpet glued to the sidewalk outside, etc... after we finished making it beautiful and white, pulling carpet and sealing sidewalk with a nice color, landscaping, etc, a lady teacher yelled "thank you, that really transforms the look around here, we appreciate all your work".That was cool.

Maybe us a commercial type carpet that you can loose lay. ie, not glued down and not over padding.

That is a beautiful mirror that you picked but in that size bathroom, get a wall mounted mirror cabinet with some storage; I'd go with something in the art deco style if you are keeping that green & black tile.

I have one property with two houses on it that I installed a 20Kw ground mount system on it years ago. 

Got to know all about live animal traps and mounting spikey things on rafters.   

Hi-Mount is pretty nice too, and honestly the only area I would avoid is probably 47th Street or North Ave.

Glued down is preferred, then they are easy to replace as opposed to the floating type of vinyl planks where repairs are difficult even for professionals.
