Why would you assume that? There’s no prohibition on selling a home with code deficiencies as long as you disclose them.

Not only that, buying these types of HOA foreclosures can also come with other liens that are not disclosed at auction.

Maybe the buyer after the price is inflated by the extra cost that was unnecessarily incurred by the HOA
