For the low price of $1100 a month you can rent this 2 bed 1 bath apartment in Normal. It comes complete with a PVC pipe sprinkler system that evidently passed inspection.
This is part of the property ISU used to own on Shelburne. The two guys who bought the property must have given up rehabbing the apartments.

Is it PVC or CPCV? Because the latter is allowed.

It ugly either way
But it also has has two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, and a living room which makes it sound somewhat better. Hopefully that ugly pipe sprinkler isn’t in other rooms!
That pipe represents the intersectionality of landlord greed and town government corruption.
Wow!
