The danger is that we often over think, and "what if" ourselves to death.

The vacant properties become eyesores and present dangers to nearby residents.

I’m not sure if this is a normal thought process and comes with the territory or if I will be making a big mistake.

Thinking and acting like this is seriously dangerous.

In PJM territory, where I am looking to build a 250kW-500kW system, today's rate is $55 per REC (on PJM GATS bulletin board).

I work for the Railroad and my territory is California.

The idea of finding the right property manager and dealing with a property sight unseen is still unfamiliar territory for me.

Contractors in NYC are expensive because it goes with the territory and labor rates are highest in the nation. 

Even if they prove it's mold and that it's dangerous, there's no guarantee the Landlord will handle it properly.

If you ignore the restriction, you have to make the conversion without permits which is dangerous in terms of health and safety and in terms of your financial health - the city can force you to remove the improvements and, in one case I am familiar with, to tear down the entire illegal structure.
