It really shines a clear light onto the issue.

In any contract you don't typically need a clause saying what you CAN do, its assumed you can do anything legally allowed as an owner including sell.

Health and safety inspections don't seem to care much about zoning or permitting issues.

I had a similr issue a few years ago with a property in Cleveland where my property manager hit the same roadblock.
