Post: property with an environmental issue

I am evaluating a property that has environmental issues.  Potential responsible parties ae identified and most remediation work is done with one open case to be remediated by 2019.

The subject property is a neighborhood strip center with existing tenants and with a vacant units providing an upside potential.  

A few questions:

1) How can I protect myself from already identified issues - just in case, if there are any additional future challenges?  Is there a law (like brownfield type in Georgia, I read on this forum) that relieves new buyer from existing/already identified issues?  Something to be included in contract of sale?

2) Is there an insurance rider for environmental protection?

If any fellow members have experience with this situation or any subject matter experts on this forum can share thoughts, it will be very helpful.

Thanks

Post: Lessons learned from the eviction that didn't happen

While I used to own properties in Jersey City, NJ, I had my share of tenants.  One of the seasoned tenants left her dog in the apartment and wasn't there when the eviction crew came.   I was asked if animal control from the city was scheduled to remove the dog from the apartment?  Huh ...  The crew left without evicting.  Later I learnt she had applied similar technique a few times in the neighborhood.

It took my property manager 2-3 months to schedule eviction crew and animal control to come out together.  This time around, no one was at the apartment and we were able to do an easy lock out that lasted for half hour.  She went to the court and received extension for financial hardship and went back in the apartment.  An orderly removal order that took my property manager additional month+.  

It was a great learning experience, now that I look in the back view mirror.
