The issuance of a certificate of compliance does not guarantee compliance with the Building, Housing and/or Zoning Codes, and neither the Building Commissioner nor the Commissioner's duly authorized designee(s) accept any liability for noncompliance with those Codes. Such certificate shall be considered by all parties as the Municipality's best effort to make known to the owner, a potential purchaser, or potential tenant, of any violations on a given property at the time the inspection is made.
(a) The Municipality assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure to report violations that may exist and makes no guarantee whatsoever therefor, since there may be further violations which were not detected which may arise in the future or which may only be determined by a licensed electrician, plumber or other specialist at the expense of the person desiring such an inspection.
(b) In issuing a vacant building inspection report, the Municipality does not thereby insure, warrant or guarantee to the holder thereof, to the holder's assignees, or any other interested party that such report contains all of the violations of the Codified Ordinances or state or federal law.
(c) In issuing a certificate of compliance document under the provisions of this chapter, the Municipality does not thereby insure, warrant or guarantee the quality ofrepair or standard of work completed in the correction of violations listed on a vacant building inspection report. Such document should be construed only as a statement by the Municipality that some or all of the violations listed on the vacant building inspection report have been corrected to the Municipality's satisfaction.
