My husband and I are both artists (painters), and we’ve decided to buy a live/work space in Brooklyn. We’re realizing that the most affordable scenario is a duplex with rec space in one of the many fugly new developments that everyone loves to hate. Some of the spaces we’ve looked at were workable, but several had mold blooms on the walls in the rec space, &/or a mildewy smell. This scares me. My question is this: would it EVER be okay to buy a place that you know has flooded in the past?
