Buying a House with Open Violations
If a house for sale has an open ECB violation, how does that impact the sale fo the property? Is that something that lenders expect to have cured before closing?

Another property tax question
I ahve another question spurred by this morning’s tax question. If a property is currently paying taxes based upon a “transitional assessment”, and work is done (with DOB approval), what happens to the transitional assessement? Is it affected by the work done (assuming there is no C of O change)?

Remedies for violation of FAR
There’s a building near me that I realzied excceeds FAR for the zoning on our block. Can DOB or another city agency force the owner to reduce the size of the building even if the building has been in that state for years or even decades? I figure there must be some type of grandfathering or statute of limitations, but didn’t see anything on the Dep’t of City Planning site.

No Fee Elevator Buildings?
I am trying to come with a list of buildings in Brooklyn heights and the surrounding areas for a relative who may be moving here in November for 8, maybe 9 months. Specifically, I’d like to find buildings where the property managers are directly negotiating with possible tenants and so can cut out the middleman on both fees and also back and forth on negotiating unusual length of lease terms.
I’m aware of the Archstone property on Montague, the Two Trees’ Court House building, and I guess Two Trees also has some other properties on Atlantic. (Also, I know that One Brooklyn Bridge is also renting directly but that may be a bit removed).
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
