Home built 9 feet too close to the curb makes local news

[Mason Lopez]

I came across this post today. I was wondering what solutions anyone had if you were in this guy's shoes? The home is under contract to buy and had been been sitting on it for 19 months paying interest to the bank. Is he really paying interst only? Or was I reading that too literally?

What would be the solution to this builders problem? It is financed at this point for $300,000. Is it better to demolish or to adjust what has already been built to fit compliance?
