Check the article for all the crawfishing on disclosure requirements. Bottom
line on disclosure is the entity selling a foreclosed home would have no
reason to know the joint was contaminated and, hence, has no duty to
disclose what it does not know!

So what is a home buyer to do? Can the police dept release that kind
of information if you give them a specific address?

Add it to the check list along with termites, bad wiring, location of
property lines, easements, etc. Seems like an independent home
inspection with a request to "test for chemical contamination" would
do it. It's still a buyer's market most places, so the selling entity
has an incentive to do it and so it can be certified clean for others.

Test for which chemical? All existing? hmmmm... 10**4657230936751978

Home inspector whould have to be an idiot to contract with that wording.
