Yes, generally if you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy before the foreclosure sale, you can stop the foreclosure sale and get the mortgage put in current status again. I have filed cases within minutes of foreclosure sales and stopped them (though I don't recommend waiting that late in case something goes wrong, because then you might lose your home). Very generally speaking, after filing the Chapter 13 all foreclosure sales are immediately stopped by order of the Bankruptcy Court, called the "automatic stay" (which generally you want to be sure the court granting the foreclosure knows about so they don't sell it) and then the person who filed the Chapter 13 immediately begins making regular monthly mortgage payments again and also pays a Chapter 13 Plan to the court, and in the plan all mortgage arrearage must be cured over 3 to 5 years. However, if you have filed other Chapter 13's in the recent past, your ability to get the automatic stay may be in jeopardy, so ask your attorney about this if you have filed bankruptcy before. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

How can you be responsible for code violations on business property discharged in bankruptcy in 1997 if the mortgage holder will not foreclose?

You are responsible as long as you are the legal owner of the property, Bankruptcy usually discharges certain debts including property related debts. If the mortgage company chose not to exercise their foreclose options then you may still be the legal owner of the property. Depending on the property valuation the mortgage note holder may have determined it more profitable not to proceed with a foreclosure process. Additionally; If fines were already issued prior to a foreclosure, you would still be liable for payment of those fines as well.
