House broken into Before Closing. Whose Responsible for Damages?

Hi BP Community! I'm currently scheduled to close on a duplex this Friday. Went over to the property today to ensure the smoke detectors and what not worked for the CO inspection and noticed the front door was kicked in leading to the second floor unit and a window was broken on the first floor unit. No other damages were made and nothing was stolen. (That I've noticed yet.) The property is a HUD home and being managed / kept up by a third party company until we close. Usually there are zero negotiations with foreclosures as they are being sold as is, but these damages are new. Is HUD responsible to fix the window, door jam and door? Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts!
