Before you list in Allen Park
Book the city's sale inspection first
Allen Park inspects every house before it sells. Allow two weeks to get on the schedule; inspections run Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's $175 for a house, paid in advance, and that covers the first inspection and the final one. The report comes back within five business days.
A licensed heating contractor has to certify the furnace, and the contractors doing any repairs have to be registered with Allen Park.
If repairs turn up, the house can still sell as is: the buyer takes them on by putting at least $500 in escrow (a tenth of it isn't refunded) and signing an affidavit and an escrow agreement before closing. The report expires if there's no re-inspection within six months.

Look up open permits
An old permit that was never closed turns up in the buyer's inspection or at the title company. Closing it now is usually a call and a final inspection.
Check the flood map
FEMA maps flood zones along the North Branch of Ecorse Creek. If the home is in a zone, the buyer's lender will require flood insurance.
Order the final water bill
Order it from Water Billing at 313-928-3393. It's $20, added to the final bill. Give them the title company's email and they'll send the bill there.
