Why am I responsible for a violation that existed before I bought the property?
Violations are tied to the property, not to the person who created them. Purchasing a property with existing violations makes you responsible for their removal. If you are curious about whether or not violations exist on a property, please contact our office. A quick search through our database can provide you with any current cases/violations.
