And sadly, it is doubtful that you'll recoup much in the way of improvements to the building (house). If the highest and best use of a piece of land is something other than what sits on it, fixing upping is only for the owner's comfort and does nothing to increase market value.

The house was appraised at over 300k earlier this year, and I am not so much concerned about recouping costs as I am making sure she doesn't get screwed. No one else on the street will mind it, the houses to the south are all rental properties and would probably not even be hurt as far as actual property value goes.
I just want her house to be something she can live in, and have family over. "Hey lets go to the industrial park to visit Grandma?" Isn't a phrase I want my kids to be saying, nevermind experiencing.
