Do monks live at this complex.  Something about the name makes me think of that....

Sounds like a great place and of course I like it because of the swimming pool.

Hey, Michael, I was reading our CAR magazine last night, and it talked quite a bit about Pasadena requirements to sell a home to meet city regulations. Maybe you could expand on that? I see that all homes in CA will be required to retrofit for water saving devices, whether for sale or not.

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents -- the city inspection has been in effect for a while.  When a residential property in Pasadena is sold a city inspector will review the property in person to see if the home is in compliance with various issues concerning permits, health & safety.  The report reflects what is identified as minor and major violations. Most major violations will require another visit before a certificate of compliance can be issued.  If the work is to be completed after the close of escrow, a waiver of responsibility must be signed by the principals and included in the closing paperwork.

The article you mentioned is from the C.A.R. May issue where Pasadena is mentioned is here beginning on page 10.

 

The inspection report is typically paid by the seller(but, of course, can be negotiated) and if any compliance issues are to be addressed can also be negotiated between the parties and often based on market conditions. When I have a Pasadena property for sale, I inform the seller that it is best to have the inspection completed prior to the marketing of the home so that prospective buyers are informed upfront.

The pattern seems to be that only a couple of those come up for sale each year so if someone's looking to snag one they better do it fast once it's listed.
