@Wayne Brooks Notice my use of the words "would appear".So if you look at the NM statute regarding redemption rights, the word "owner" is used and then the code goes on further to state D.

I'm aware that code violations with the city are a complaint-driven system, and the city won't necessarily just drive by and give us a code violation - it usually comes from neighbors.First question - how common is this??

Also, another way in the future to stop this is to get a coded deadbolt, something like thishttps://www.amazon.com/Codelocks-Digital-Mechanical-Pushbutton-Surface/dp/B00CM6NRLE/ref=sr_1_18?

Maybe I should reply to your comments and Morse code?

One thing is to find a comparable property is tough because this is the first house that has came up since i have been actively in this market (2-3 Years) that has had a basement suite up to fire code and fully permitted to todays standards.

I used Realestateexpress.comI liked it, meshed well with the state tests, also cheap, theirs always a cupon code or discount.I paid around $250-300 for my courses.

@Wendy BooneYou might be able to use stock ‘architectural’ floor plans, but the site architectural plans (for example, site accessibility) and all of the engineering disciplines will need to be custom for a commercial project.Beyond the conditional approvals in place, the local authority having jurisdiction (e.g. city planning & development dept) will be focused on fire-life safety, ADA compliance, etc. per current building code.

Also, it must be "reasonable" based upon local housing codes.

You're opening yourself up to all sorts of liability as a single 60 amp service is no where even near code for 4 units + common areas.

The Post Office is changing their postal presort requirements Nov 23rd which will make it more difficult for you to receive postal discounts.
