Generally speaking, in a Residential Contract of Sale in New York, the Seller will be responsible for delivering the property without any open permits or violations. Once the contract is signed the Purchaser’s attorney will order a title report, including a municipal search. If the municipal search reveals any open permits or violations, then the Seller will be responsible for curing them prior to the closing.
