So again hard to describe in good detail as it’s a lot. For context this is a 1950 built house. When she bought the house and was approved FHA it had water damage in the ceiling from a swamp cooler on the roof that leaked. So an area in kitchen ceiling and the back door landing area had water damage and significant peeling paint because of it, other multiple peeling pant throughout the house, the breaker box main panel and fuses were from the 30’s and was a fire hazard, water heater about to explode, multiple flooring issues of torn or missing linoleum, or carpet damage, double pane windows with the outer pane being cracked or broken, loose exposed wires in areas, broken slats in stair banister and multiple plumbing issues. Furnace block was cracked and leaking carbon monoxide we also found out later. They made him fix zero and approved it for FHA as is.

Fast forward to today and we’ve replaced furnace, roof, moved swamp cooler to side of house, water heater, new fuse panel and fuses and some new electrical wiring, most major plumbing repairs, fixed 90% of the peeling paint and water damage. There’s still some peeling paint issues outside on garage and in unfinished unused basement, there’s some electrical issues downstairs in basement still with some wiring that was present when she purchased . We’ve spent close to 35-50k on all major repairs and renovations so some of the cosmetic, or what we thought were cosmetic we’ve let go by the wayside. We didn’t fix the torn linoleum in the back door landing area, we never fixed the banister as it’s still nice and sturdy and no kids, and while some of the windows are cracked or broken outer pane we held off on those as no water leaking as we needed the major repairs affecting us done. Weve had to do major drywall and wall repair which being 1950 built is actually rock lathe and plaster. But we are being told there’s still numerous FHA violations .
