If they get angry over you asking them for the address, etc, then they are probably the same types to not even bother leaving you a VM with all the details.

Its not directly on the sidewalk and in no way bothers anyone (there's some grass and flowers in that area - it kinda happened because the previous investors didn't even realize its not a part of the houses' lot).the encroachment is pretty small (2') the problem is its the main house that is encroaching so I wont be able to change that unless I demolish the house.This is a cash deal - problem is I wont be able to sell it to an end buyer with financing, down the road if i choose to. ( financing wont be approved due to survey)So to my question - can I apply for an easement from the city and would they typically approve that or do I have no chance? 

I think drama bothers me more than it affects other people.

It really doesn't bother anybody until it's working against them.  

I got a replacement device, but didn't even bother installing it.

Quote from @Katherine Earle: There's nothing in your purchase agreement that requires him to remove the dog, so why would he bother?

They would need to pull and analyze comps, and they are not going to bother.

And when Facebook leads from PPC don't convert, most assume it's because people on FB aren't buyers, don't want to be bothered, etc. 

Some banks won't bother because there is too much paperwork for such a low value.

I mean you can ask for $2 Million Dollars a day if you want, but the argument is going to be "We are making repairs you requested and now you are asking for compensation for being bothered that we are working on your requests?"
