Your second call is to a real estate attourney bc again the nuance involved in filling out the forms is a pain in the *** + you need special legal sized paper with margins of a certain length - lol - I thought I had it all dialed in, brought it to the assessor's office (or whatever city, windowless room it was) and got pinged $85 for the wrong paper size. :) I am currently working on quit claiming our recent purchase into the LLC and after gathering most of the paperwork have just left a message with an attourney so I don't have to go through all those hoops again.

I'm a fellow investor in the city of Chicago.  

They have a rehab lien on the property that requires repairs to be done in a certain timeframe to get the property up to code requirements by the city of Detroit. 

Currently, I have properties in both Memphis and Kansas City, MO and I'm mainly looking to grow in KC.

For example, my city actually requires a permit for a shed (and a bleeping concrete pad...)Personally, I would try to work out the last option, he's a good tenant, is improving the property, not trashing it, and if you can get both control of work scope approvals, and free improvements, it could be a win-win.  

Call city water department.
