The seller will not cure any of the violations nor will the seller pay to cure any of the violations. The seller will only pay for any fines associated with the violations. This is truly a very special home but please do your due diligence first and speak with a licensed architect, electrician and contractor about what is involved to remove the violations. This property is currently being lived in but will be delivered vacant.
