Undisclosed violations

[Jeff Zhou]

Long story short, I was curious about a housing court case against the owner of the property I am buying, called the attorney, and figured that the property has "many" (according to the attorney) open violations. I already signed P&S and is in the middle of getting the mortgage. I told my realtor and she was surprised, but she asked me to get the violations from the city first. She said there was nothing on the deed but it could be because the violations were filled recently (in June this year). I went to the Record Bureau and they closed at 3pm, and the earliest I can get the record is next Tuesday. I'll talk to my realtor again to see if she has any suggestions.

Is this kind of issue common? Any advice?
