I would ask for a copy of the last 12 months of expenses (actual), a NY leases, the foundation condition, the major electrical/plumbing/HVAC, roofing condition, kitchen and appliances, bathroom(s), any heat reservoirs, any outside porches/patios/balconies, fireplace and chimney condition, window condition , exterior siding/brick condition, fencing.

Removal of tile, counters, cabinet doors refinishing, landscape, patio cage cover and some other stuff.

That covers into your interior pain (3 color),  hanging all new light fixtures and fans, painting cabinets and installing hardware,  hanging blinds,  fixing minor repairs on the inside such as drywall,  New mailbox in toilet seats,  pressure washing walkways and back patios,  gutter repairs  and a few other minor exterior repairs.  

Light fixtures – solid, rust proof metals (especially for moist areas such as bathrooms) rather than coated or plated (or plastic) fixtures.

To be safe with anything except a fairly new house, you’d really need to excavate around the house, parge the outside of the foundation with an asphalt/tar product, install a dimpled plastic membrane over that, and then on the inside, fastidiously install rigid foam on the floor and walls, spray foam/tape all seams, etc… Then frame, then drywall.Seems ungodly expensive.

Stacking plastic makes me sick to my stomach.

We let this slide but we expect the full size patio with no additional charge.

Vernon Triangle and NoMA, accessible to multiple metro stations, walkable to everything, has laundry, parking, a fenced patio and I feel its generally a pretty awesome unit.

my classic was the tenant complaining of mold around the windows.. go and check it out and they haveand they have ruined the blinds and put up foil and plastic and so you had all this moisture  and when the mold started they were scrubbing it and ended up ruining the sheet rock try to rub the mold out..  

@Connie Stainbrook not only do we have hangers in all closets - they are actual wood hangers (I hate the plastic ones).
