Is there a way for me to purchase the existing note subject to the existing loan without disturbing the lease to own contract in place?

The problem is there's a  county law that requires erosion mitigation plans and provisions for "land-disturbing activity" before cutting trees on commercial (not on the 12.4 agricultural land surrounding it).

However, in buildings that are already over that cap, the additional units can remain in operation.No short-term rentals will be allowed in most of the French Quarter or in the Garden District.Platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway will be required to remove illegal listings.Short-term rentals that violate the rules, including regulations about disturbing neighbors, can have their licenses revoked.An 8.45 percent tax and a $1 per-night fee are already assessed on short-term rentals.

If so, you might be able to intervene under the clause of "disturbing the other tenants."

It's a perfect time for us to pressure wash and get yard work done without disturbing them.

Also now that it's disturbed you should  wrap the cloth insulation with electrical insulation tape as the 'cloth' will crumble off as you work on it leaving bare wiring prone to shorting & a potential fire.

Its too disturbing for most people to get their heads around.  

Should I also inquire about authorized payment of an environmental/asbestos test to the exterior of the residence and ask if asbestos was disturbed and request a copy of the report, if a test was even conducted? 

I’ve seen a few disturbing posts recently, mostly on social media, but a few here on BP as well, where the posters are reacting almost with glee that we may finally be heading toward a dip in real estate so they can cash in on good deals.This post is strictly my personal opinion, but also a call for others in the real estate industry who came through the previous crash to provide some much-needed levity right now.

I looked at going after the seller, but in my state it is not required to disclose noise disturbances so there is not a clear cut answer there.
