I have a broker that is willing to do the negotiating per lease fee, and I have worked with some landlords that they negotiate, have me get leased signed then they sign and I hold original and each gets copies. 

Don't be afraid to talk to lenders and other professional services, they are there to answer questions and make loans.Approach the problem with an assumption that you WILL find a solution then start working the issues.

few things here from my limited experience.....1. what is the rate on the original home loan because rates have shot up in the last couple months a bit...if your current rate is higher or about the same it makes sense to do it now. 

It's a legal matter and may just be a letter from your attorney to the effect that they do not comply with the terms of the original contract, it will be placed before a judge to decide.

The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods should answer most of your questions. 

I am open to connect with experienced professionals in the field, absorb their insights, and build lasting relationships that contribute to mutual growth. with that said I am new to the real estate industry and looking into multifamily properties. thank you for answering all questions!

James, I deal mostly on the commercial and education side but from what I know 903.3.1.1.1 is the only place where they list exceptions and two forms of egress us not one of them. 903.3.1.2 calls out the requirement for nfpa 13r sprinkler systems for group R. if the rezoning is not allowing a grandfather from the original building code that didn't originally require sprinklers, then you are at the JHA's mercy on this one.
