Open permits/non permitted work ???

[Michael Gessner]

Just received title back on a flip purchase, title revealed open permits/no co which I assumed would come back as its gutted and an as is purchase. However I just found out permits were not pulled for what work has been done, demo of electrical, plumbing, and structural work. I was informed permits were pulled and theirs a current permit on the door, just not for anything they have done to this property. Building dept has nothing from seller, drawings, description of work to be performed, engineer nothing. Most likely I will need to bring an engineer on board as this building dept is beyond difficult to work with. My attorney has given me a few options but I'd like to see if anyone else can chime in. Contract states reliant on clear title/CO
