Hi- I was just turned down for a mortgage and told no bank will lend here until the roof is replaced and the litigation is settled. Anyone have luck getting a bank to lend with the roof replacement and lawsuits going on? WIthout it, I need to produce an engineer's report saying the repairs have been made which isn't expected until ???

It am a mortgage broker and can check with a few lenders about the building .

It would help,if you had a heretic condo questionnaire. Feel free to send it or feel free to contact me.

Myra, are you working with an agent? Your real estate agent should be helping to guide you to a successful closing in the building. Many mortgage brokers (in the case wells won't lend even though they just did) can approve you vs. the building. You can email me Danielle.Nazinitsky@corcoran.com if you have any questions.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I ultimately walked because the building is undergoing a complete rear facade and roof replacement and the capital account has no $$ for it. An long and large assessment is coming and the prices don't yet reflect it. My lawyer warned about possible building condemnation if the rear facade replacement doesn't go well. That's a nuclear scenario but if I needed to sell, the lawsuit would make it difficult for years to come.

The back wall repairs will begin later this year and banks are lending on this property.
