would you not be able to get this info from the BAR.... or a senior lawyer..

Furthermore, "The properties are in two zoning districts, both allowing buildings up to five stories with height under a conditional use."

I'm researching around to find a good local real estate lawyer and CPA to work with.

You had their condition report, you had your own inspection, you bought it.

Am I legally able to take a conditional nonrefundable deposit from a section 8 tenant to prevent her from renting some place else other then mine during/after her end part of section 8 paperwork processing stage (provided she will get the final approval by section 8 that is; she told me she has been a section 8 tenant for years and she’s just being transfer from one city to another; she verbally agreed that she‘ll rent my place)?

It's lawyer time.

I think you're probably correct, James, that lawyers are exempt here from this law.

Don't get me wrong, I have to communicate with my tenants, have my plumber stop by occasionally, but as a whole the property is in great condition and doesn't bring me headaches.I want to purchase another double in the area but be a bit more firm in getting a property for the price that has a better cash flow.....now I just need to find out where to come up with a 20% down payment!!

I am not a lawyer so seek legal advice.

I am thinking about hiring a lawyer to sue them.Thank you,Wei
