Life Safety codes come to mind with a 100 yr old rental.
Obviously if it has been subjected to minimal maintenence , and no authority has viewed it over time there will be a point when the Levee Breaks .
The usage in electrical appliances havesomewhat been a tad more demanding in contrast to 100 yrs ago.....
As a contractor i read landords thier 'rights' in situations where any AHJ will be by to view my work, if only in that they are allowed to address LifeSafety concerns ( NFPA 101, maybe 73).....
oh....and this is NOT a pull-it-outta-your-large-intestine document.....
Time to pay the piper dude.....
