And really think about the size frig you will need for the size rental and if it is cabinet depth or regular size -does it stick out into the walkway. 

Below is what it said:I called the Inspector to get more clarity on everything, as the high price quote is mainly due to the "Repair/replace entry walkways. 

Let's say there is an exclusive walkway from the sidewalk to only ONE of the rental units in your multi-unit building.

For starters, I would like to word the snow removal section as something like:"ensuring walkways, front stairs, sidewalks, driveway, etc. be free of snow and ice after 24 hours of any weather-related event, including putting down de-icing salts on ice or icicle removal as needed'

Hi Mary,(1)  Maybe your exterior lighting (parking lot, building flood lights, and walkways) are on one meter for both buildings. (2)  Maybe the bills are not manual meter reads, but just estimates, with reads done once every two years.(3)  Maybe a resident has tied into the CAM electric and set up an illegal marijuana grow operation in the attic.(4)  Maybe your some of your exterior lights are stuck on during daylight hours.(5)  Maybe the buildings have different types of exterior lighting. 

Nobody told us of the incident right away or of the ice on the driveway.On February 13 at 0800 am we received a text from another tenant stating that the driveway was slippery and requested our plow guy make a return trip to Salt.On February 13 at 1000 am (2 hrs later) our plow guy returned to the property and salted.On February 13 at 400 pm I stopped by the property to show another unit and inspected the driveway and did not see any ice.On February 14th at 500 pm we received an email from our tenant (the daughter of the woman who fell) informing us of the incident in which I replied that I would see if the plow guy salted and I would try to bring salt up there for the walkways to assist the tenants.Our lease does not state that we are responsible for snow removal therefore it is the tenants responsibility however we do pay a plow guy to plow and salt in order to help keep the property up to pay.My question is for anyone who has been through a trip or fall lawsuit.

I'd certainly walk way or at least seriously negotiate to knock the price down if you are still interested in the property. 

I don’t know what it’s like to have to deal with snow on a daily basis and all the dangers that come with it.So, I have some questions for those who have more experience living in snowy areas. 1) Do I have to pay someone to clean the walkways to the properties every time it snows?

Because the walkway is under 7 feet, it would need a variance which could be difficult to obtain.

However when looking at a street there are a few obvious things like boarded up houses, a lot of graffiti (that is not artistic in nature), needles on the ground, uncared for lawn/walkways, people on porches drinking from brown bags, lots of adults up to nothing during the middle of the day (not working at jobs) etc.
