I am certainly no attorney so I encourage you to reach out to Mr. Trask and ask him how this statute and case would come into play in the litigation. For me, there are 4 points of reasonable due diligence where the buyer should have known. #1 The property sellers obligation to disclose #2 the real estate brokers same obligation #3 The ambiguity of the map and #4 The ability to call city staff and double-check. None of these require internet access, none of these require an in-depth working knowledge of city ordinances and all of them are steps that a prudent person would take when purchasing a property for this purpose. I encourage you all not to take the settlement offer.
