What recourse exists when a home was sold without a valid certificate of occupancy?

one year ago, my father purchased a renovated property in New York under the impression that all necessary permitting had been completed by the seller and the professionals involved in the transaction. It has since come to light that no certificate of occupancy was ever issued, and as a result we are now unable to obtain permits for even minor subsequent work. Given that my father, an immigrant with limited familiarity with U.S. real estate procedures, relied entirely on the representations of the agents and contractors involved, I am trying to determine what legal or contractual recourse might reasonably be available to him at this stage.

Can I cancel a contract with a realtor

My realtor posted wrong information about HOA fees on the listing. Told her in June the HOA was $150 a year. I have had plenty of showings but only 1 low ball offer. So I review the listing and HOA was posted as $150 per month. I believe this error of a monthly fee discrepancy cost me prospective buyers. The previous realtor i dealt with presented 5 offers. Current realtor only 1 offer that was 50k under asking price. So I want to find a new realtor

Is a 2-year leaseback at 5% below appraisal actually a good deal for me as the seller?

A seller is offering me 5% below appraisal with a 2 year leaseback for what would be an investment property, the house hasn't sold in 13 months, and I can't tell if that's a smart discount for guaranteed rental income or just a bad deal dressed up nice.

How do I tell my buyer's agent I'm not using her to sell my current house?

I just got an accepted offer on a new house, which means I need to sell my current one, but I am not using my buyer's agent for that, she's a friend, our husbands golf together, and she helped us find our last two houses too. I'm not thrilled with how she's handled the buying side this time, missed calls, slow paperwork, and I already know she'll be hurt. Do I tell her and her husband together, or just call her directly and rip the band-aid off?
