I live in Westchester County and my neighbor has been waiting for years for a CO for his older home which did not need a CO when it was built. There is a big problem in some Westchester communities regarding getting a CO for older homes, politicians have addressed this issue, but I do not know if anything has been done to remedy the situation. I hope you do not run into this problem with your purchase. Additionally, if the seller gets the CO for a finished basement, wouldn't the seller owe additional taxes to Peekskill for the years the basement was finished? I'm just throwing that out there, I'm not sure if that's the case, maybe someone more knowledgeable in real estate issues will reply.
