@DarrenSager the property is being sold as is and part of the sale is that buyer is responsible for CO.

Thanks for prompt replies. The city has a list of things needed to obtain CO, which include no peeling paint. They also require a roof, chimney and furnace inspection which my inspector told me all were in great condition.

Other things needed are fire extinguisher and an additional smoke and co detector. @TheresaHarris.

@Spence O. - A few questions:  How confident are you that this property is in good condition?  Do you have experience fixing and repairing houses?  

Playing it the safe way I would have the city come out and tell me what needs to be fixed.  And if you are confident that the property is in good condition, why not do it the safe way.

So, Im closing on my first investment property soon which is in good condition. There are three minor holes in walls and foundation paint needs to be touched up in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy.

This is an as is cash sale. Should I make repairs prior to closing and inspection by the city in order to obtain CO even thoigj I dont own the property yet? Or should I have the city come and tell me what to fix which would make the property "fail" inspection then make those repairs to obtain CO.

The property is in trenton nj

I used Carlo this past weekend I was pleased with his work. Anyone have a contact for someone to do furnace, chimney and roof inspection which is needed for CO?
