From there, you will likely have to enforce your judgment against the Seller via a citation to discover assets.

A new contact wants to sell "her" house in less than two weeks as it faces city citation.

Two things could happen, you convert it, you apply for permit, the city inspects it, city calls code enforcement to check on other parts of the house, decides to give you citation, then you fix that, chiching ; or, you don’t qualify, you get a citation, you are forced to fix it, double chiching.

Both told me that you have to have 1 of 4 things to search; Case, Citation, Reference or Attorney.

I received a citation on a property I have with a Rent to Own Resident.

Ask him for the citation to support his position, and if he can't find it, then ask him why he believes what he believes. 

I didnt include the 25 or so traffic  citations in the list

Specifically, one BP member noted a citation for a trash violation that his tenant left out longer than what was allowable.

You now have a citation which probably means the inspector found something significant. 

Some cities issue expensive citations.
