The jurisdiction of its a safety hazard or blight my require it to be demolished and you do not want to start getting fined for it, so that is something I would consider.

Every county has different requirements, such as minimum square footage for rooms; maximum number of occupants, hallway sizes (If there will be residents in wheelchairs); and safety regulations which are usually different that owner-occupied homes (for example- Interior fire sprinkler systems).  2.

They include: zoning requirements, building codes, impact fees, permitting requirements, design standards, public land requirements, and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and other labor requirements.

If someone ends up with food poisoning or a trip to the ER because of their peanut allergy I don't want it to have anything to do with me.

I've been approached by a couple of sober living facilities and would perhaps prefer an independent living provider if possible (with 4 units in Cape Coral it's categorized as commercial so all ADA requirements, fire safety, etc. have been provided).

I can live happily with just a bed, food, and my laptop! 

Housing is a very important bill for many families to pay, but it still comes behind food.  

If I were to buy anything once my reserves are where I want them, it would be gold to hedge against inflation, which we are already seeing in food.

When dealing with a hoarder house, safety should be the top priority.

Will be a long road ahead for you all over there, been praying for speedy recovery and safety
