Buying vs Selling Property with Code Violations: Why the Divide?

[Jonn Vidal]

Just bout every building i bought or acquired had at least one open code violation without it being a problem at closing table as buyer.

Now am hearing (from prosp buyers, agents) violations MUST be removed before closing on the same properties I'm now re-selling.

Why wasn't open violations a problem then; cause there wasn't a conventional lender?

And anyways, really?l per statutes, or what exactly??
