[ Renting & Real Estate ] Open Question : I saw a house I had wanted to buy, but the fireplace and chimney was not built to code.?
How would this affect the sale of the house, the Certificate of Occupancy in New York, and what would I have to do? Take down the chimney entirely? It was placed on the exterior wall over a basement window.
