Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code 6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design.

hello, aleko. i am a home inspector from the western new york area. the old cloth, 2 wire wiring is kind of dangerous, in my opinion. as stated earlier, the cloth gets brittle and can crumble with the slightest of touch. with rehabbing the place, you are going to disturb it, for sure. then, you have exposed wiring. fire hazzard. not to mention, a lot of this old wiring is made of aluminum, not copper, therefore, the heat it will carry without fail is far lesser that the copper type wiring. if you have an overload somehow, and the breaker doesn't trip, you are going to have a fire. the gfi's have to be grounded, thats the whole idea of a gfi. the g stands for GROUND. with the two wire system you have, where is the ground????

It still has fuses as opposed to circuit breakers as well (I would try those Edison plugs with built in circuit breakers) I am thinking if I do become owner, I would probably give a heat cost allowance each month of say $300 and divide the remainder among the 4 units?

They last longer and are easier to clean.People in our area (tenants tend to be students and recently graduated young professionals) prefer to have a garbage disposal, but it's not a deal breaker.

That was before I knew more about what things are deal breakers and what things are easy to fix.

If the power is off at that time (and Georgia Power often leaves the lights on for a while but another local power company won't) throw the breakers since they often want these off when they come to turn the power back on.7.

A tenant intending to stay in a place long term would deem the issue as annoying but not a deal breaker.
