In 2021 we bought the building for $1.5M using private lenders, pushed the occupancy from 50% to 80% occupancy and it appraised for $3.125M, allowing us to pay back the private mortgage.Right now, we are in the predevelopment process of design and piecing together the capital stack for the redevelopment deal, which will be made up of historic tax credit equity, RestoreNY Grant, DRI Grant, etc.

A lot of people in the current fire area had their insurance canceled lately and are really screwed, Reminds me of Florida and the insurance problem caused by the hurricanes. also thing of the Lahina fire on Maui there was no forest there freak down slope winds and buildings that were built with very dry timber with no fire protection in mind.. this stuff happens.If were gonna use fires as a measure of "good" or "bad" than Canada is hell and most of the country should evacuate because holly-heck do they have fires galore. 

Seems like this thread has unfortunately dried up a bit! 

The winds were so strong and fire so hot there were cars turned upside down in driveways, and then melted.The bottom line is that 100 mph winds combined with dry grass and just about any ignition source is unstoppable once it gets going. 

I think though now with this new law it gives the state an easy track to regulate compliance  IE you either gave the disclosures or you did not you either have the disclosures on your website and marketing or you dont.. be very cut and dry for enforcement. 

Depends on your scenario exactly though, never one cut and dry answer to which is better.

So many of the builds I've visited, some multiple times, seem to be frozen in time: the homes are dried-in (roof paper, windows and doors), tiled floors, drywall installed, and then a dead-stop.

Just the other day I saw someone had used black sheet rock screws in the hangers on a brand new deck (non-permitted obviously, and not a single lag or any flashing on the ledger board, and they painted it immediately before the pressure treated lumber had even dried out so that’s going to peal in the first year, at about the same time that those sheetrock screws start to rust lol). 

Mice are filthy and when their fecal matter dries up it becomes airborne because it's powder and it's full of diseases and it's hard to see visually when it dries up.
