But provide the basics -- water, heat, working electricity and lights, no safety hazards, proper safety equipment (smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors), make sure windows and doors all lock and door jambs are secure and the place is clean -- no previous construction debris, no previous tenant debris, no bugs/critters.Then there's the matter of the rent and security deposit. 

Look up Kevin Carbon- he organizes the Meetups down here....

Fill in all holes with fire retardant caulkInstall ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher in all kitchensInstall battery smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in every apartment of sleeping areas and furnace roomInstall 110V interconnected smoke alarms in hallways and basement.

I would buy an expensive bicycle, one of those fancy carbon frame ones. 

One of the reasons for going high efficiency is that you can direct vent the exhaust through PVC piping through the wall rather than having to vent through a chimney and over the roof.Chimneys need liners, they can leak exhaust (carbon monoxide) into the living space, they typically are brick structures rising above the roof line (oh and they usually seem ready to drop bricks due to lack of maintenance) ...

Paterson also signed Amanda's Law, which requires that carbon monoxide detectors be installed in all homes.

The carbon monoxide detectors are CO detectors, not CO2 detectors.  

Is a "slip and fall" or a carbon monoxide leak or anything else of that nature, considered personal negligence on my part?

It looks like either oil or carbon staining.

Carbon Canyon sure is a nice place to live!
