If the sellers back out after I've paid to have all this occupancy
permit inspection stuff brought up to code I'm sure I'd have a very good
case for a civil lawsuit against them. They signed the sale contract too
after all!

But you had voluntarily done repairs at your own expense, endlessly
boasting your esoteric motives, long before that sale contract; and
then you persuaded the CHINESE tenants to pay their rent to you.

How do you think the Chinese (tenants and property owner) evidence
about you would play in court?

John's collecting rent for a property he doesn't own and which he
knows does not have an occupancy permit. Sounds to me like a problem
position from which to launch a court action.
