If the house was listed has having cac then it is the sellers responsibility to get the permits, otherwise it doesn’t exist and the price should reflect that. Don’t make this your problem. Have the seller get the cac permit and the removal of tank. Your lawyer and agent should be advising you to get this done.
If you are afraid of this delaying closing see about putting money into escrow (if the bank allows). Have the sellers hire an expeditor and call who did their conversion.
You're not making any sense. If the oil tank was above ground and removed, it would be patently obvious if it were removed incorrectly.
Underground tanks are not removed. They are abandoned in place because that does not require a soil test (CAN OF WORMS) and that's all the law requires. If the oil tank was REMOVED from an ABOVE GROUND area or THE BASEMENT then it's not something to worry about. If the sellers are stating it was removed from where it was BURIED UNDERGROUND they better come up with a way to prove it. Same if abandoned in place (more likely for a buried tank) - they need to prove it. They're not gonna sell that house without that proof.
The A/C probably won't be an issue for your closing, but it will become YOUR issue if you ever do any work, most CAC units require a variance. You'll be the one needing to get one if you decide to do other permitted work on your house.
By incorrectly removed I mean illegally removed (does not have a removal permit or co), does it make sense? Will it be a problem?
When i bought my house in 2014, my attorney insisted that the owne provide a certificate that the underground oil tank was legally abandoned, which they did
