This is quite a list. There are many substantive repairs and remediations that you are going to have to deal with. For the most part it sounds like you have an offer and an acceptance on this house purchase, unless you did an inspection before making an offer to purchase. Either way your first option is to back out of the deal, after that, you should understand that the seller has very little obligation to effect the corrections of these defects. At present there is the right of not disclosing property condition to purchasers for what amounts to be a five hundred dollar credit to the buyer. Substantive defects are required to be disclosed by agents of the seller in most instances. I think a health hazard falls into the catagory of substantive.
If this is the house that you want to buy, there seems to be substantive issues that need resolution. The question is to find out the costs to you for all the repairs and seek a sales price adjustment from the seller which might cover your costs of repair. If you come to an adjustment for less than the cost you will have to just calculate those repairs as part of your purchase price. However, It is better for you to make the repairs after you close than to make those repairs as condition to closing for there might be some methods taken by the seller that you would do different. The seller is only concerned up until the closing, you on the other hand will be there after the seller is gone. Now, one last thought, the lender may step in and set conditions to make repair before a closing can take place. So, best to try to nergotiate an adjustment and identify any conditions that would make a lender rescind their intent to provide the mortgage.

Hi Joe,
I am a native of Bayside! I went to Cardozo HS, PS 74 and PS 205. I lived on Bell blvd for over 25 years and Moved out to Port Jefferson/Port Jeff Station.. I was commuting to Manhattan for a while, and must admit it was tedious. If you have the type of job where you can get flex time to beat the rush hour, you can make it in under 2 hours.. and even better if you can work from home a day or 2 a week. The lifestyle out this way is could be worth it..
If you don't mind the train (bring your laptop and phone), you can make a go of it.. but If you don't enjoy train rides I would recommend that you consider other options..like moving closer in ..
I am a full time realtor and could shed some light on the reality of commuting to the city from various parts of Long Island- Give me a call anytime..
