• Where is the oil tank — basement, above ground, or buried? Age? Any removal records or tank insurance?why: undocumented buried tanks are a $10–50k problem
• Is there any cooling at all, and has anyone priced a central-air retrofit?why: NO central AC per Ridgefield assessor record (retrofit ~$25-40k)
• 96 days on market — any offers, and what fell through?why: long DOM is leverage
• This was delisted and relisted. Why?why: the DOM counter was reset — the true clock is longer
• Septic: age, tank and leach-field location, last pump-out. Well: yield plus arsenic, uranium, radon, bacteria.why: standard diligence for a septic-and-well house
• Pull the full permit file — do permits match the renovations being marketed?why: work without a permit record becomes your problem to document
• Taxes are $25,062 now but roughly $29,910 after the next reval — has the seller appealed?why: post-reval tax shock
• When were the windows replaced, and do you have permits/records? (Visible upgrade; need to confirm installation quality and warranty.)why: specific to this house
• What is the age and condition of the oil tank? Has it been inspected/certified? (Rusted tank visible; budget for imminent replacement.)why: specific to this house
• Has the boiler ever been serviced? When was it last tuned? (Appears original or near-EOL; quote for replacement.)why: specific to this house
• Kitchen and bath permits: Were either renovated after 1979, and are there permits on file? (Listing says 'ready for your vision'—if original, that's a 45-year-old design.)why: specific to this house

• Deck maintenance history: When were the decks last sealed/stained?. Any structural or post rot noted in the last 3 years?. (Moss and weathering visible. The kitchen read dated but functional. Bringing them current is estimated at $32k–$50k; because they work, this is treated as modernization rather than required repair and is not deducted from value.why: specific to this house
• Central AC feasibility: Has ductwork routing or HVAC layout ever been evaluated for retrofit? Any physical barriers (ceiling height, joists) that would complicate installation? (Budget varies widely; some old homes resist retrofit.)why: specific to this house
