You would have to work with the city to bring the property back into compliance in order to keep it from being demolished.  

You can best do that by finding an attorney in the state where the transaction is, who has handled MANY hard money or private mortgages, so that they can keep the paperwork in compliance with state and federal laws. 

You don't simply come up with some wild azz plan that might be agreed to, going that direction you'll be guaranteed to miss compliance requirements, guarantee you that you'll mess it up.

Cash payments requests are also big red flag that this guy may not be in full compliance with L&I either.

Hi, Are there any special compliance considerations for commercial property purchases in Ft.

You have to ask yourself; do you want them gone if they don't respect your rules, or do you want compliance?

Compliance issues are not just to the letter of they law as there are many gray areasThat's where I'd start....

I'm not sure of the law in NC, but in CO it's a 10 day demand for compliance.

I spoke with a Code Compliance Inspector and he told me to send him an email of the type of violations I wanted.
