in-wall bathroom heater, supposedly controlled by knob, doesn't always turn off.

4. well, landlord is 90 years old and his (uncredentialed) son does the maintenance.

It's a big ol' house. The owner is a Yale-educated architect and lives on the main floor. Downstairs there are two ADUs built in remodel. Mine is the larger of the two apartments downstairs. Maintenance for this house is done by the son, and I have half a dozen horror stories about that.

But.....it is a beautiful location right on the shore of a beautiful river, and very conveniently located. Great neighbors, an enviable location, reasonable rent.

I got curious once and looked for county inspection records for this remodel, which would have been done about twenty years ago. The county has NO RECORD of any permit or inspection for this property remodel. Crazy. That also means, likely, that owner is not declaring rental income he's been getting on the property, in his tax filings. And the two Accessory Dwelling Units on lower level are not permitted or inspected.

So, loving the location, I just keep my head down and try not to make any waves.

I will always keep the breaker on that heater turned OFF Thank you, DU. Thank you.

P.S. There has never been an inspection here in my tenure, and I have been here almost fifteen years.
