Appraisal Matters

My friends and family are constantly amazed by the interesting things I see in the field.  Now, most of the time, inspections go off well and nothing unusual happens.  The following is a list of some of my most memorable inspections.  Many I cannot print.

1. Dead body found in the basement of an apartment building;
2. An alleged crack dealer cooking alleged crack in an apartment with his 90-year-old  Grandmother in the room;
3. A “hair salon” with 20 girls and 20 rooms and no hairdresser on staff;
4. A Dentist who has not drilled teeth in 20 years, but has rooms and rooms of gas;
5. A hole in a basement that was so deep I could count to 10 before I heard the coin drop;
6. A vacant building that the owner kept swearing had tenants.  Not even toilet paper in the whole building, but he insisted that it was 100% occupied;
7. A row building that the entire rear area was gone and only the front was being held up by the adjacent buildings; and
8. Many, many with dead vermin.

There are others but I’ll save them for another time.  My husband has some great pictures which will follow soon too.  Just when it starts to get boring, something interesting happens.
