Jeff Kehl Older Apartment Buildings
3 May 2013 | 13 replies
The hot water pipes leading from the boiler were leaking in 20 places the inspector could see and as a bonus were wrapped in asbestos.2) There is only one thermostat for the building so the tenants on the top floors often open their windows during the winter because so much heat comes off the radiator, as a result the gas bills (landlord payed) can sometime be more than $3000/month in the winter.3) Some of the electrical panels had been updated but most had not and the wiring was all original fabric coated and would have to be replaced if worked on.4) The roofs needed replaced.I could probably use all of this to get the price much lower but it seemed like just too big a project to take on especially when the numbers were good but not great.Any experiences working with older properties like this?
