Is there a home inspection contingency in NYC deals?

Not in the traditional sense. In NYC, due diligence - including inspections - happens during the attorney review period before contracts are signed. Once the contract is executed, the buyer has accepted the property's condition. This is fundamentally different from many other markets where post-contract inspection contingencies give buyers an exit. Educate out-of-town buyers on this structure to avoid misunderstandings.
