What else can I do to avoid buying a contaminated property?

Residential property sellers in New York are required to report selected on-site environmental risks to buyers, but can avoid disclosure by reducing the asking price by $500.00 as provided by law.

You can also learn a property's history by questioning owners, realtors and neighbors or researching historic maps or photos.
