(A MAJOR basis for our lawsuit, under Toledo's ordinance properties with over 4-units are exempted from inspection and compliance.)The response concludes "Finally, time is of the essence here because the deadlines for complying with the lead-paint ordinance are fast-approaching."

Liens usually fall out, missing deadlines, etc.

Also if you were not due earnest money compensation when  he failed to close by the deadline he was acting as a broker, not a wholesaler and you should contact the state real estate commission to let them know. 

There is no deadline - wait for the deal that makes you lose sleep hoping it's not gone already.I'm not an expert, just a guy that buys houses. 

Even if I don't know the exact amount all expenses will come to, we must notify of Intent to withhold well within the deadline.

There are specific appeal deadlines that apply, so your friend should reseach these as they apply to his situation.Finally, your friend can apply for a temporary reduction in assessed value if the value of the property has declined since he reacquired it.

If you are extending the deadline, maybe I can figure out what's wrong.

Each municipality will have its own procedures and deadlines. 

But last night, just before our deadline, I wrote to the real estate agent and told him we wouldn't be buying the property.
