'Open violations require inspections to close' Really?!

[Jonn Vidal]

Cash buyers as-is where-is no contingencies etc etc per contract

Yet attorney says open violations and a sidewalk lien must all be inspected and removed before close.

So how come so many buildings are routinely sold with violations for way below MV anyways if city supposedly blocks the sale til seller brings up to code/marketvalue?! 

NY? NEVER again!
