My fiance and I just closed on our first home in New Jersey last month and we discovered the pipe of an underground oil tank sticking up near the back door. We have gas heat, so the tank is no longer in use. The esquitrix of the property verified in the contract that she had no knowlegde of an underground oil tank on the property and the home inspector also missed it during the inspection. Is it manditory that the oil tank be removed and if so, who is ultimately responsible for the costs of removing the tank? Do we need to take legal action against either the esquitrix or home inspector?
