Ronin, I live in Ocean County and work for an attorney who handles a lot of real estate. You can send them a certified letter, but that doesn't mean they have to pick it up.
If you have nothing in writing saying that they agreed to fix it, or documentation from a roofer that it was fixed, you most likely will not have a leg to stand on in court. If it was fixed, they should have at least a short-term warranty which you should have. If you have something in writing, I would say to pursue the roofer...not the seller, because if it still leaks, it's the roofers fault.
If you have nothing in writing, it will be your word against theirs. It's not THEIR fault that you or your attorney didn't follow up with the roof issue. I know this sucks, but that's what happens.
PM me if you need any help.
