Questions as to whether any of the seller's obligations survive the closing can be determined by reviewing the contract of sale. If those obligations do in fact survive the closing of title, the fact that you were unaware of the regulations imposed by law will probably offer little solace.

I assume that you had an attorney represent you on the sale of the building. If so, your questions should be directed to that attorney.

Good luck to you.
