Thanks @Jonathan Klemm for the mention,@Christopher GrannenYou are allowed to pour a parking pad on your own lot, as long as it is accessed from the alley, Additionally, this typically does not require any form of building permit as long as the property is not located in a landmark district, or have any of the excluding elements as listed on the link below:"Exterior WorkNon-combustible sidewalks, patios, walkways, parking surfaces, and driveways that are not located in or on the public way, not more than 30 inches above adjacent grade, and not over any basement or story below."

All new paint, fixtures and flooring throughout.Exterior features include new double coated Solar-Flex White Roof Coating, new upgraded electrical panel, natural and durable surface crusher fine walkways, low maintenance landscape and mature trees, and freshly painted large shed for tools or hobbies.

I feel comfortable making the tenants responsible for the front porch and walk ways, I have several shovels and salt, but the driveway is another issue. 

All new exterior, new garage, siding, roof, insulation, cement walkways What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Clint Shelley so it's not paved yet we'll have to dig up that backyard and remove the fence and stone walkway.

We also cleaned up the landscaping and added a brick paver walkway to give it great curb appeal.

There were no walkways through the apartment, with random boxes, wrappers, spoiled food, trash, collectibles (aka where our rent money went), everything in the way.

I removed the scary bushes near the walkway, trimmed the tree branch that used to knock people in the head.

If majority condo owners vote in favor of the reassessment, then each owner will be forced to pay 50k to improve the building and its amenities such as the lobby, gym, pool, walkways, etc.

This is a standard 6 foot tall dog eared privacy fenceThis 2.5 feet of width had 2 overgrowth trees (my side of the fence) I cut them down because I thought they looked really bad and they were growing into my walkway, They were about 10 feet tall.
