He told us We can no longer park in the garage because he doesn’t want us to park in there or even the walkway cause it illegal but everyone else is doing it. and Over the years a lot of the he provided were getting wore out and started not functioning anymore things like the water heater, the refrigerator so he often brings it up it all my fault that hey broke.

I have read about a rental house where a second story deck collapsed during a party and of an apartment complex whose second floor exterior walkway rail fell off and the city condemned the complex.

Check with legal council.I once took over a property to manage, and a week after I took over the property, ones contacted by an attorney for a slip and fall by someone walking by, walkway was maildy and slippery from a tree.

I got the inspection report back stating roof was approximately 8 years old (supposed to be new), furnace approximlatey 15 years old, AC unit 10, soffits hanging down, rotted door threshold, bedroom door that doens't latch, front door that has gaps to the exterior, electrical ground cut, a/c condenser line broken, basement foundation cracked, counter tops lift off (not sealed to cabinet), toilet loose, driveway and walkway leading to front door cracked, iron sewer line leaking, bathroom sink has leak in pipe (in the line, under the sinkbowl) and a few other items.I know not everything on the inspection report is a big deal, and inspection reports always have items on there, but..................... what concerns me is the fact that the roof was marketed to me as being new and is not, its approximately 8 years old.... the HVAC was marketed to me as being under 5 years old and its not...... its over 5 years old (with issues), counter tops weren't sealed to cabinets,soffits were supposed to be repaired (according to the scope of work) , and the foundation is cracked (which could or could not be a big deal).  

For residential side walks and walkways in general 4 inches is the standard.

I also do bluestone walkways/patio's and brick paver work as well which I will 100% use to my advantage when i buy a house.

@Jerry W.Scenario/questionI have a duplex and it has a walk way which a has crumbling concrete. 

They share a center walk-way to the front doors of the units.

New bathrooms, kitchen, fresh paint, new driveway, walkway, and back patioWhat was the outcome?

(2) California law states that all new property on the coast must have a path/walkway for the public.
