The government of Florida (and other states) require building inspections and money be set aside (Reserve Funds) to fix problems so that things like balconies crashing to the ground doesn't happen.Her HOA has underfunded their reserves.

Contacting the EPA or other government officials?

I can't imagine a government lending agency remodeling properties.

But now it seems taxes have increased, additional government fees, ie lead testing for any property built prior to 2017, and also increases in sewer / water rates.

In this case you just have to deal with added hassle of long wait times for inspections, crazy accounting, government employee turnover, etc.    

Let's say your seller bought the condo for $75,000 back in 1993, and today it's worth $300,000 - completely fictitious numbers - but go with it...Where I live (in Florida) there is a cap on how much the government can raise your property taxes a year... it's like 3.5% a year of the assessed value.

Payments are made by the government via direct deposit on the 1st.

Mid terms are popular right now, but make sure you have another exit strategy that works for you in case the market you choose is saturated, has governing limitations or just plane doesn't pan out.
