It is always a good idea to have it inspected regardless of where it's located. Would you a buy a car without driving it first? It's the same thing. You just want to make sure everything is ok with it.
A lawyer is needed for every home purchase...whether or not you get it inspected. They are there with you at the closing and make sure everything is done correctly.
Inspections aren't like they are so much money that you shouldn't do it. Its like a no brainer in my opinion that could potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars later on. The car analogy was was good by jdawg here...you wouldn't just look at the car and not drive it. Try to convince your friend otherwise...she may really thank you for it.
Aren't those coops over there? Birchwood? Maybe that's why the friend said no to inspection, you technically own a share in the building and not the actual apartment.
