It reduces the “bouncing ball” effect of tasks being passed between departments. 

Horse stable in the middle of LA, 20 acres 1/2 swamp next to major airport in Florida, church with 6 acres in the middle of town, contact bank Trust departments and let them know you want to buy.  

The fire department should put them in for them if they think its so easy to get it done. 

There was lots of discussion in the department about whether the matter was in fact covered but my opinion ultimately prevailed. 

Quote from @Frank Chin: @Matthew SpiegelSome years back, I used to go to the local building or planning departments, and get the information from the local offices directly.

The water department told them that they were seeing continuous usage—AKA a leak.

Such exciting news, but I will sadly be departing from this home in the next year or so as I plan to buy another home to move into or an investment property I haven't ironed out all the details yet. 

Otherwise most towns like Roxbury, Landing everytime someone moves in you will need to have the fire department inspect the property so you can get a c of o.

They also extort their tenants with fees, break payment contracts, judges orders and their accounting department competency is questionable.

Unless those items are all satisfied (except for housing violations and some non-monetary liens which follow the property), the department of finance will not allow the deed to pass through to the next stop in the recording process.So even if you wanted to dump a property that was totally upside down with liens to someone who was willing to take it from you, you can't do it.
