[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not me but a neighbor on Long Island when I lived there bought a home in 2015 and got a notice in 2018 it needs to be demolished or raised 8 feet in the air.

Turns out in Sandy in 2012 home was considered over 50 percent damaged in Superstorm Sandy and lost its CO. However, town backlogged due to thousands of damaged homes and paper form filled out by inspectors while power out in Sandy not keypunched till 2018 which got him the letter.

Happened to like a dozen people my old town.

I would think this would have to be a disclosure!!! That's terrible. The people who sold are abhorrent. [/quote]

The people who sold had had no clue. What happened inspectors when power out and homes unoccupied based on exterior review and water lines labeled homes all of them. The ones called  “substantially damaged” a fema term home over 50 percent damaged have to be raised or torn down. These paper forms were not key punched for a few years. Was not till summer 2019 they actually finished then all. 
It was Town of Hempstead on Long Island. 
Read article below pretty scary if you ever buy a home in a flood zone.
