Apartment where Shabbat was desecrated during construction

Question

Hello, We bought an apartment in a construction project and found out after we already bought it that there were instances of Shabbat desecration, as the Chinese workers worked on Shabbat. Is there a halachic issue with this?

Answer

Hello 

Since it was done against your will, it is permitted.
