We just need to replace some older faucets that leak, but that is to be expected.One of the heating units needs a new circulator, the HVAC company we use is going to come and install one on Wednesday.The plumber will be back next week to take care of the shower supply and valve that need to be replaced.** Getting the water up and running and those heating systems working properly in the 2 units is a very good sign. 

Honestly I would not sweat it and I would also not do anything to create bad blood between you and the agent.

For people like me I cant stand this, it boils my blood that government allows this.

My blood pressure was off the charts.

Even though THIS thread is a year old, how long will it now take for these changes to circulate?...

Strategies like BRRRR are too risky for my blood.

I wouldn't separate the utilities but I would try to save some water cost by adding a hot water circulating pump to the hot water heater...that basically makes it so when they turn on the hot water it's instantly hot instead of having to wait a minute for it to get hot....another benefit of the hot water circulating pump is that it helps prevent pipes from freezing in the winter, turn off the outside spigot so people can't steal water, have a plumber go through the 4 plex and look for leaks and replace any toilet flaps...replace any toilets that are water hogs. 

Put up 200 bandit signs for 2 weeks straight, and they are going to want blood.

@Ned J. finding a good team def takes some blood, sweat, and tears lol. 

For me though 08 to 2011 was an event I never saw in the previous 30 years in the business there was some regional blood letting.. many don't realize but the SF bay area right after the earthquake and war some high end homes dropped 50% even in the pristine areas.. so its happened.. but on a national scale 08 hopefully was a once in a lifetime event.
