Also a contractor said the HVAC unit  is not enough to  provide for that extra area  so I'd have to get a wall mount indoor unit  but that sounds really  tacky to me.  

These units are relatively basic, they have individual room baseboard heat systems and wall mount air conditioners (1 each), so not nearly as expensive to replace as a normal HVAC system.

We just got the keys last wednesday and by the time Saturday rolled around someone had changed the locks and stolen our motor off the front gate.We are going to be chronicling this insanity on facebook - so we encourage you to play along at home by following our plight *ahem*, I mean success on our page: https://www.facebook.com/teamoperationrenovation/So far we have a property tour video up on the page so you can check it out.

The neighborhoods are quite a bit different.Another thing to consider, I just bought a duplex on Hi Mount and North IN Washington heights for $85k and put about $15k into it for rehab.

And I try to focus on how blessed we are to have such a beautiful, healthy child when frustration mounts! 

Silly question...did you replace light fixtures and, if so, did you go back with ceiling fans or just flush mount fixtures?

My suggestion is to get a boiler service guy (probably a smaller company)  out and get an estimate of what it will cost to repair the boiler so she has heat.. you don't need it working like new just want it to heat..Then you can make more decisions...OK My knowledge on boilers is not great but basically you have a oil or gas burner, a pump and pump motor,  piping and zone valves, and pressure gauge.... so, thermostat calls for heat then boiler fires up and tries to heat water .... then temp of water high enough to heat with.... then pump kicks on to circulate water to and from boiler...      

There is no guarantee that the next tenants will be better or get along better.Examples:Operation, Maintenance, Storage, Alterations to Premises: On a continuing basis, tenant agrees to: Keep premises in a clean, neat, and sanitary condition; no parking, storage, or accumulation of debris on lawn or yard.Not store non-operating vehicles, nor boats, RV’s, motor cycles, trailers, firearms, equipment, tools, hazardous materials, liquids, paints, fuels/oils or chemicals on premises without landlord/agent approval; no waterbeds

Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design.
