That makes no sense. If I am buying property, it is in my best interest to make sure it isn't going to fall apart. Especially since if something happened due to my negligence, I would be responsible.
If you have no idea of whether or not the building is being inspected, why would you make the assumption it's not?
- lazide 5y agoOnce you’ve bought it, your incentives change no? And ‘trust but verify’ is important - there are a lot of assumptions people make about what is actually checked or verified that are, well, just wrong. About a lot of things. And if you can’t find anyone saying it is happening, it very well might not be. To the prior poster - call the NYC building department. Here is a link to their FAQ/index page and it should be straightforward to find from there. They are the ones responsible for making sure buildings don’t randomly collapse in NYC. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/buildings/business/inspections.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/buildings/business/inspections.pag...
