Do you need C/O to Close multi family sale ?

[David Smith]

Green card shall be enough, from past deals.   The city hall says CO is only for new constructions.

Anyone has legal statute or rules regarding that?    Thanks.

@David Smith it depends on the city, most will ask for a certificate of occupancy, or a certificate of compliance some will also ask for a certificate of habitability before you can rent your units. These certificates are in addition to your fire and smoke certificates. Often times the seller will take care of this for you though as a part of the sale but in cities like East Orange, Newark, Irvington its not uncommon for the buyer to be responsible for all city certifications
