No clearances, there is nothing wrong with this installation. the 3' you may be referring to is for Exhaust pipes of gas fire appliances, not the gas meter ( which the meter and piping are all sealed). there is an electrical code of 30" work space clearance in front of an electrical panel, but the meter does not interfere with that. just make sure the panel box is a sealed box and rated for outdoors.

This month we have three local district judges doing a panel.

From there you would need a main electrical panel to then feed a sub panel in each apartment.

This is a list of things I always look out for: FoundationRoofAttic spaceRain gutters and downspoutsExterior stucco or paintElectrical panel, light switches, and power outletsThermostats and heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) systemPlumbing fixtures, faucets, and water heaterAppliancesWalls, ceilings, and floorsDoors and windowsStairs, steps, and railingsPorches and balconiesWalkways and drivewaysBasementGarageTrees and landscapingLawn sprinklersSewer lineSwimming pool equipmentFireplace and chimneyDrainageOdorsFloors covered by carpetingMice, rats, or other rodentsWood-destroying pests, such as termites or carpenter antsRadon TestingGood Luck! 

We have 8 panels, 1.92 kW (or 240 kW per panel).

. - The panels cover about 600sf of roof space and are attached.

. - only 1 Electric service panel with 100 amp svce - some unapproved attic splicing done it appears- roof 15 years old- water supply and drain waste piping uses old galvanized water piping that is subject to leakage (drain pipe is actually leaking to crawl space!) 

The house has lots of perks, not the most updated but nice, energy efficient, low taxes, solar panels on the roof, roof needs a coating,  and kitchen needs updating but if I would to rent it I can leave it as is for now.

There are regulations that add up quickly and you don't get your money back (such as rain barrels, solar panels, etc.).

We added value to this deal by making the following cosmetic changes:- Repainted the entire unit- Updated all outlets and covers to be uniform (a few USB where applicable)- Updated all light switches to 'flat panel'- Updated kitchen cabinet and drawer hardware- New stove & range- New sink outlet- New kitchen ceiling fan- New toilet- Deep clean & high quality post/advertising to emphasize the value the condo has to offer What was the outcome?
