During the meeting attorney suggests they have a “great” case, and they should move forward by filing an immediate injunction to “freeze” assets.  

I would never invest in any area that snows, or pipes freeze.

We actually put one in our lower level and while this is fine in the summer , in the winter in the northeast this is adjacent to a bathroom and the bathroom is then freezing. 

One where the guest left the freezer door ajar and it cause a freeze up of the bottom edge of the door seal.One for a clog in the master bath shower drain.

I'm the landlord of a 3-unit building and wanted to know if I should be concerned about any potential plumbing issues (like freezing pipes) or other safety concerns.What steps should I take to protect the building, and are there any other things I should be worried about in this situation?

Because if the mechanicals need protection from the locals, the renters must feel the need for protection from them also.Just my 2 cents. the issue with dogs is the windows are removed and the metal window coverings have holes in them to allow circulation. so in the winter in Chicago its freezing in those houses so they have to use portable lights and portable heaters to work inside.. its truly a shame that its come to this for rehabbers and builders..

As of this year, Ownwell also charges a $100 property tax freeze fee.

So if we lose power, the house doesn't drop into freezing temps for at least 2 days from a 60 degree set point.If you see a bunch of outages each year, then looking at a propane generator install would be a good idea.

The one thing people don't realize is that in a downturn in the economy, they freeze the LOC.
