He went down into the basement and looked at the foundations and founds that they had started sinking years ago and the house was folding in on itself. The seller had said nothing about this, and it was before buyers insurance. He spent the next three years jacking the foundations on that house up and rebuilding them, only to have to sell the house soon afterwards. Hope you have better luck

That is why you have a house inspected by a professional Home Inspector. In NY you can not buy a house without the inspection. If the inspector failed to notice something like that, your friend could sue him since it is something that he should have seen.
