What types of things can I, the property owner, do?

You may perform all building repair and maintenance, including those requiring physical installations, modifications, or alterations of electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fuel gas, or structural elements of the property, as long as the property is not for immediate resale.  You are still required to pull a building permit and get inspections.
