Would that be the last thing or the first thing to do?

LOL. I meant last in the sense of it being the final step when he's
done with this mess, not in the sense of it being something I would not
do. But I see how it could be taken the other way.

BTW, I think we would also agree that he shouldn't call the code boys
until he gets his deposit back. Given this fiasco, you would hope that
would be quickly forthcoming.

I'd love to hear the rest of this story. It sounds like the young lady
who owns the property probably had no idea what was going on. I
wonder if she even had the place inspected before buying it? This
thing could take years and lots of lawyers to try to straighten out.
And she's not in a very good position either. Especially when they
stop her from flushing the toilet! Not a good position to be in when
trying to sell the house. If she doesn't have much equity or assets,
this could wind up being owned by the bank in short order.

Now if the buyer really likes the house and wants to fix this right,
this could become a great deal at the right price.





Well anyway, this is one of the few times I agree with "trader", but
yeah you really ought to report it and include at least some still
pics. This is outrageous. What would most **** me off is that if
that I would STRONGLY suspect the guy was lying to me when he claimed
it was OK with the Town/City.

Wonder what he would have said if you had told him, OK then you would
come back with the City/Town inspector, "just to make sure" it was
okay, being as you were a first time home buyer and all that....
