No. No it goddamn isn't. Now, you don't have to answer any questions if you don't want to, and you can decline to answer anything you don't want to, but illegal? Heck no.

Also, please tell your landlord he's a dick because he's clearly just trying to keep you quiet about something.

2 million to do what exactly? "redevelop" is a very broad term and could encompass a whole lot of things.

Assuming the foundation doesn't need any work, but everything else does, I wold estimate around 100K for something like this. You're going to need to get a GC (or GC it yourself if you can). You'll need a building permit and all the trades will need permits and inspections. The basic order of operations is:

1. demo/trash out
2. Roof
3. framing
4. plumbing (need permit)
5. hvac (needs permit)
6. electric (needs permit)
7. framing inspection
8. Walls, sub floors
9. Paint, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, windows, etc.

You'll also need to do some exterior work at some point - those steps look like they need work.

I do this professionally, and I can also tell you that no one who does this actually has the money to do it themselves. It's all borrowed money. The standard thing to do is get a hard money loan (short term, high interest rate) to buy the house and rehab it, then either sell it or refinance into a long term mortgage once the work is done.

Remind me - that's the one across the street from the Victim of Communism Museum, right?

Whoever pulled the gas permit should be the one to ask them to do it.

It's in Rockville, but Moti's market carries a lot of Israeli products including zatar and several other middle eastern spice blends. They also have Hawaj if you're into that. If you're not into that, I recommend you try it out because it's a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

With or without traffic?

I'm not sure what it is now, but I believe the plan is for flexposts eventually.

Fuck the Steelers.
