House not fit for human habitation

[Derek T.]

There was a house that came on the market that I went to view and saw it had a notice from the county that said it is not fit for human habitation. I contacted the county to see what the issue or code violation was but there is a 2 week process for them to get back to me. What could possibly cause this? When viewing the house there seemed to be major water damage from the top floor. A lot of the dry wall had been pulled down on each floor, there was significant mold in the basement, and there was some flooring issues but I didn't notice any other major problems. This was past my experience grade so I didn't bid however I am curious as to what the issues could be with this house.
