The unit is in a large, multifamily complex with subterranean parking.

I could hear the dog yapping while walking through the parking lot. 

Do your research and visit any area at different times of the day to get a feel for the parking situation, noise levels, and traffic. 

I would not do any more renovation without consulting them and what they will require you to do.Padsplit does not allow pets except for service and ESA animals.As I understand it, parking space is an add on fee to renters. 

Kyle sounds like a nice plan, house hacking is great and how I got started by doing one in Rogers Park.

Make sure your lease stipulates its a "shared property" and list all the rules to make sure they toe the line, garbage, one vehicle(where parked), noise, no personal items in yard, everything you can think of or choose/whatever.

I’ve had clients pay $100k for a sewer line though (commercial properties, complicated lines running under parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping and the bid includes replacing the landscaping too, etc. or requiring a permit from the city to close off the road for the day with traffic control, etc.).

From, "someone ate my food" to "someone takes long showers and uses up all the hot water" and even arguements over parking spots.Who wants to handle all that extra nonsense for "free"?
