Default Buyer Beware - Buying a Home in The Villages?

Apparently Florida is a 'Buyer Beware' State.
How do you handle existing 'Non-Compliance'?
Some home buyers/owners have been cited for violations existing for the past 10-20 years or more.
Sellers, Builders and Realtors do not typically represent buyers at all.
Does the buyer have to apply to each CDD to find out if the home they want (new or pre-owned) is in compliance?
Will all the CDD's issue a 'certification' that a home is 'in compliance' with all their regulations before you buy it?
Should I put a contingency in my offers/contracts that requires the Owner/Seller/Realtor to take care of it?
I've seen this problem reported many times but never any solutions.
