City Permits not pulled

[Maneesh Joshi]

Hello all,

Have a question. I have an offer out on a house in Philadelphia that was rehabbed and we found out that no permits were pulled at the city for the rehab (new kitchen, HVAC, plumbing...etc). I am planning on renting this property out. Is this something that is normal? Should I be worried? Would I have any issues with the city?

They have accepted my offer but have indicated it would be in "as-is" condition, which kind of worries me because it was rehabbed. Why would say this on a rehabbed property?

TIA
