More details to this question:
closed last week, my attorney present at closing, the seller handed a town document with a seal, long story there is no CO for the 2nd floor addition. Confronted my attorney today he says no problem everything is good, called up town I have reason to believe it is not. Who has the responsibility at closing to advise me of this?

Your attorney. No one should purchase a house with work that requires a CO and not get one. One could overlook minor issues, like a deck, but a second floor, no way. Title insurance does not help. You are going to have to legalize this. No one else but you would close for market value with this kind of CO issue. I am surprised your mortgage company approved it.
