"Cheap" can be expensive. We fell in love with an old mansion several years
ago, but ended up opting for a "lesser" property following an inspection by
a real (city) building inspector who was a friend. I know nothing about NY,
but one is always better off calculating actual bottom-line costs than
asking prices. Anything that is "priced to sell," especially older
structures, are potential money-pits. Proceed with great caution . . . ?
WTPS: I don't know whether or not NY has any kind of disclosure law, but bear in mind that, even if they do, one still has to sue, and many owners are clever enough to know that the cost and hassle and time required head off all but the most blatant violations.
