I could be remembering it wrong, it was all from the discussion here on the
list. I thought he said he couldn't get a certificate of occupancy because of
moldy walls. I suppose that's not -exactly- the same thing as having it
condemned, but it's effectively the same. A house that you don't have permission
to live in is useless.
As you say, the owner ran out of money due to issues with his contractor(s?) and
also blamed the material suppliers. So yeah, perhaps there
were extenuating circumstances, but I thought I'm mention it since we were
talking about the potential for mold.
