Re: enum vs tinyint
Use enum with values 'New', 'Maintenance', 'Renovation', 'Not Specified' - no need to use a lookup table for this. MySQL internally stores enums as INT(n) fields where n = size of the enumeration, so it's not a space saving mechanism to use 'n', 'm', 'r', 's' in your enum vs using the full strings.
