How to get mandated repairs done in short timeline?

I'm currently renting an apartment but looking at the possibility of buying a foreclosed house from the city. (City foreclosed previous owners due to unpaid property taxes and now is trying to unload them if they can, otherwise they get demo'ed.)

It has repairs mandated by the city to bring it up to code, which must be done in 180 days of closing. I've owned houses in the past and know that it can be hard to get contractors to even bid, depending on the size of the repair. So I'm curious, is it likely that the city has a list of contractors willing to bid and maybe do the work on houses like this (they have a list, only one of which I'm interested in) within the city's timeline? Especially since the mandated repairs are to bring it up to city codes and require permits (thus inspections).

Edit for clarity: what I'm wondering about is the timeline for the repairs. 180 days seems very short.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
