If you have gas, one option would be to put gas logs in there.

Any income you can make out of it is better than nothing at this point.Alternately, maximize the benefit of that corner location and see if you can entice a gas station/convenience store owner to put something up there.

It’s a gas station/ convenience store.Back taxes owed are about $18k.So far what I know is that the Airbus facility is expanding.

I had the money I bought the house with plus $81,000 in my pocket plus the property was a 2 family bringing in $1,600 per month before taxes, gas and water ($400 per month) I was making $1,200 every month , since you are only considering the purchase it should be an easy task to improve the property in a short time to bring back the appraisal at the higher number and roll the second mortgage into one mortgage, one thing to remember is to make the interest rate high enough that it entices the owners to commit to the idea, depending on how much you are paying for the property, think of it in terms of another couple of thousand dollars added to the purchase price. 

Bit of a head-scratcher for sure but bottom line is I don't think this is a good idea, and probably neither do you since you're asking.You'd be mixing several systems into one: an electrical chase and a fuel gas exhaust which the chimney technically is whether active or not, and it would probably be considered still active since you have the boiler exhausts in there. 

Gas or fire?

Also, you may want to confirm that the utilities are all separated. 2 water, gas, and electric meters.

I don't think you can do it here.Louisiana Legal InfoThe use of ratio utility billing system (RUBS) and submetering is not prohibited when billing residents for electricity, natural gas and trash.

Hello,It might not be surprise that eastern Ohio has an abundance of traveling gas and oil workers.  

I had switched the gas and electric service to my company name so the house would have heat (it was winter) and my guys would have power for their tools.I contacted a local rent court agent company that I use and one of the owners, a former policeman, said that my only recourse was to file for "unlawful detainer."
