(a) The responsibility for making repairs or completing such work as may be necessary to correct any defective aspects of the premises shall rest upon the person who was the owner immediately prior to the inspection.
(b) It is the current property owner’s responsibility to have the violations corrected unless the new owner is willing to formally assume such responsibility by signing the Transfer of Responsibility Agreement form provided. This Transfer of Responsibility Agreement must be signed by both the seller and the buyer and a copy of the agreement provided to the City of Union. If the responsibility is assumed by the new owner, he will be obligated to repair or correct all of the violations noted by the City of Union inspector in the time determined by the City of Union building inspector. Failure to comply will result in the City taking legal action to compel compliance.
