Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, whenever there is a proposed
change of ownership of any residential building or part thereof, such change
of ownership shall not be made unless a certificate of compliance has been
issued by the Lower Providence Township Code Enforcement Officer, dated not
earlier than three months prior to the change of ownership. The term "residential
building," as used in this chapter, shall include single-family homes, duplexes,
apartments, cooperative apartments and condominiums. In order not to delay
or impede a pending change of ownership, the Code Enforcement Officer may
issue a temporary certificate of compliance if the code and/or ordinance violations
existing at the time of the change of ownership are not an immediate and imminent
threat to the health or safety of the owners, the tenants or the occupants
of the property in question. In the event that a temporary certificate is
issued, the former owner (seller) and the new owner (buyer) shall agree, in
writing, to be jointly and severally liable and responsible for correcting
all code and/or ordinance violations set forth by the Code Enforcement Officer
within such time as shall be established by the Code Enforcement Officer.
Buyer and seller shall also agree to escrow, at settlement, an amount of money
as agreed to by the Code Enforcement Officer as financial security for the
correction of said noncomplying conditions.
