Something doesn't feel right in Trenton

I'm buying a SFH from a City of Trenton employee. On the day of the inspection when I arrived the employee and 2 inspectors were having a conversion. One inspector came into the empty property looked at a few things and left. Now that I have the report I see that quite a bit was missed (leak in the main drain line in the basement, water in bathtub is not going out, kitchen sink is leaking, rear entrance doesn't have a step, loose guardrails in the basement and on the upper level, windows not operational). None of those violations are on the report. I reached out to the inspector via email and phone. He has not returned either.

Do you know if the inspection rules for the city of Trenton have changed? Should I escalate to his superiors? 

Thanks much.

Very uncomfortable about City Inspection
