Question 19

Section 19 of the RE Contract?

Answer 19

LEAD-BASED PAINT AND/OR LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARD CONTINGENCY CLAUSE:
(This paragraph is applicable to all dwellings built prior to 1978. The law requires that unless the Buyer and Seller agree to a longer or shorter period, Seller must allow Buyer a ten-day (10) period within which to complete an inspection and/or risk assessment of the Property. Buyer, however, has the right to waive this clause in its entirety.)
This Agreement is contingent upon an inspection and/or risk assessment (the “Inspection”) of the Property by a certified inspector/risk assessor for the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The Inspection shall be ordered and obtained by the Buyer at the Buyer’s expense, within ten (10) calendar days after the termination of the Attorney Review period set forth in Section 24 of this Agreement (the “Completion Date”). If the Inspection indicates that no lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazard is present at the Property, this contingency clause shall be deemed to be null and void. If the Inspection indicates that lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazard is present at the Property, this contingency clause will terminate at the time set forth above unless within (5) days from the Completion Date, the Buyer delivers a copy of the inspection and/or risk assessment report to the Seller and Broker(s) and (a) advises Seller and Broker(s), in writing, that Buyer is voiding this Agreement; or (b) delivers to Seller and Broker(s) a written amendment (the “Amendment”) to this Agreement listing the specific existing deficiencies and corrections required by the Buyer. The Amendment shall provide that the Seller agrees to (a) correct the deficiencies; and (b) furnish the Buyer with a certification from a certified inspector/risk assessor that the deficiencies have been corrected, before the date of Closing. The Seller shall have days after receipt of the Amendment to sign and return it to Buyer or send a written counter-proposal to Buyer. If Seller does not sign and return the Amendment or fails to offer a counter-proposal, this Agreement shall be null and void. In the event Seller offers a counter-proposal, Buyer shall have days after receipt of the counter-proposal to accept it. If the Buyer fails to accept the
counter-proposal within the time limit provided, this Agreement shall be null and void.

Question 20

Section 20 of the RE Contract?

Answer 20

20. INSPECTION CONTINGENCY CLAUSE:
    (a) Responsibilities of Home Ownership
    The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that because the purchase of a home is one of the most significant investments a person can make in a lifetime, all aspects of this transaction require considerable analysis and investigation by Buyer before closing title to the Property. While the Broker(s) and Salesperson(s) who are involved in this transaction are trained as licensees under the License Law of the State of New Jersey, they readily acknowledge that they have had no special training or experience with respect to the complexities pertaining to the multitude of structural, topographical and environmental components of this Property. For example, and not by way of limitation, the Broker(s) and Salesperson(s) have no special training, knowledge or experience with regard to discovering and/or evaluating physical defects including structural defects, roof, basement, mechanical equipment such as heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, sewage, plumbing, exterior drainage, termite and other types of insect infestation or damage caused by such infestation. Moreover, the Broker(s) and Salesperson(s) similarly have no special training, knowledge or experience with regard to evaluation of possible environmental conditions which might affect the Property pertaining to the dwelling such as the existence of radon gas, formaldehyde gas, airborne asbestos fibers, toxic chemicals, underground storage tanks, lead, mold or other pollutants in the soil, air or water.

(b) Radon Testing, Reports and Mitigation
(Radon is a radioactive gas which results from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. It has been found in homes all over the United States and is a carcinogen. For more information on radon go to www.epa.gov/iaq/radon/pubs/hmbyguid.html or www.nj.gov/dep/rpp/radon or call the NJ Radon Hot Line at 1-800-648-0394 or 1-609-984-5425)
If the Property has been tested for radon prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller agrees to provide to the Buyer, at the time of the execution of this Agreement, a copy of the result of the radon test(s) and evidence of subsequent radon mitigation or treatment of the Property. In any event, Buyer shall have the right to conduct a radon inspection/test as provided and subject to the conditions set forth in subparagraph (C) below. If any test results furnished or obtained by Buyer indicate a concentration level of 4 picocuries per liter (4.0 pCi/L) or more in the .subject dwelling, Buyer shall then have the right to void this Agreement by notifying the Seller in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the receipt of any such report. For the purposes of this Paragraph 20, Seller and Buyer agree that in the event a radon gas concentration level in the subject dwelling is determined to be less than 4 picocuries per liter (4.0 pCi/L) without any remediation, such level of radon gas concentration shall be deemed to be an acceptable level (“Acceptable Level”) for the purposes of this Agreement. Under those circumstances, the Seller shall be under no obligation to remediate, and this contingency clause as it relates to radon shall be deemed fully satisfied.

If the Buyer’s qualified inspector reports that the radon gas concentration level in the subject dwelling is four 230 picocuries per liter (4.0 pCi/L) or more, Seller shall have a seven (7) calendar day period after receipt of such report to notify Buyer in writing that the Seller agrees to remediate the gas concentration to an Acceptable Level (unless the Buyer has voided this Agreement as provided in the preceding paragraph). Upon such remediation, the contingency in this Agreement which relates to radon shall be deemed fully satisfied. If Seller fails to notify Buyer of Seller’s agreement to so remediate, such failure to so notify shall be deemed to be a refusal by Seller to remediate the radon level to an Acceptable Level, and Buyer shall then have the right to void this Agreement by notifying the Seller in writing within seven (7) calendar days thereafter. If Buyer shall fail to void this Contract within the seven (7) day period, the Buyer shall have waived his right to cancel this Contract, and this Contract shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller shall be under no obligation to remediate the radon gas concentration. If Seller shall agree to remediate the radon to an Acceptable Level, such remediation and associated testing shall be completed by Seller prior to the closing of title.

(c) Buyer’s Rights To Inspections
The Buyer acknowledges that the Property is being sold in an “AS IS” condition and that this Agreement is entered into based upon the knowledge of the Buyer as to the value of the land and whatever buildings are upon the Property, and not on any representation made by the Seller, the named Broker(s) or their agents as to character or quality. Therefore, the Buyer, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, is granted the right to have the dwelling and all other aspects of the Property, inspected and evaluated by “qualified inspectors” (as the term is defined in paragraph (f) below) for the purpose of determining the existence of any physical defects or environmental conditions such as outlined above. If Buyer chooses to make the inspections referred to in this paragraph, such inspections must be completed, and written reports must be furnished to the Seller listed in Section 1 and Broker(s) listed in Section 26 of this Agreement within calendar days after the end of the Attorney Review Period set forth in Section 24 of this Agreement. If Buyer shall fail to furnish such written reports to the Seller and Broker(s) within the time period specified in this paragraph, this contingency clause shall be deemed waived by Buyer, and the Property shall be deemed acceptable by Buyer. The time period for furnishing the inspection reports is referred to as the “Inspection Time Period.”

(d) Responsibilities to Cure
If any physical defects, or environmental conditions (other than radon) are reported by the inspectors to the Seller within the Inspection Time Period, the Seller shall then have seven (7) calendar days after the receipt of such reports to notify the Buyer in writing that the Seller shall correct or cure any of the defects set forth in such reports. If Seller shall fail to notify Buyer of Seller’s agreement to so cure and correct, such failure to so notify shall be deemed to be a refusal by Seller to cure or correct such defects. If Seller shall fail to agree to cure or correct such defects within said seven (7) day period, or if any part of the dwelling is found to be located within a flood hazard area, or if the environmental condition at the Property (other than radon) is incurable and is of such significance as to unreasonably endanger the health of the Buyer, the Buyer shall then have the right to void this Contract by notifying the Seller in writing within seven (7) calendar days thereafter. If Buyer shall fail to void this Contract within the seven (7) day period, the Buyer shall have waived his right to cancel this Contract and this Contract shall remain in full force, and Seller shall be under no obligation to correct or cure any of the defects set forth in the inspections. If Seller shall agree to correct or cure such defects, all such repair work shall be completed by Seller prior to the closing of title. Radon at the Property shall be governed by the provisions of Paragraph (b), above.

(e) Flood Hazard Area (delete if not applicable)
Buyer acknowledges that the Property is within a flood hazard area, and Buyer waives Buyer’s right to void this Agreement for such reason.

(f) Qualifications of Inspectors
Where the term “qualified inspectors” is used in this Contract, it is intended to refer to persons who are licensed by the State of New Jersey for such purpose or who are regularly engaged in the business of inspecting residential properties for a fee and who generally maintain good reputations for skill and integrity in their area of expertise.
