It would be a capital improvement that gets depreciated/added to your basis, if you've reported the income and depreciated that "half" of the property as an investment property, which will of course affect your cap gains exclusion for your primary residence.

@Ian Middleton First thing to do is check if your current insurance carrier has a Dog Exclusion, which could exclude any liability claims resulting from dogs. 

Like, "What kind of hourly rate will you offer me if I give you exclusivity on 10 properties and growing?"

Other buildings are exclusively financially responsible tenants.

Also, if they provide the title insurance they usually only do a search for recorded liens, excluding unrecorded code violations, utility bills, etc. and they have a bunch of stuff excluded in the B section of exclusions....not very reliable.
