Got a notice from the city? You can sell without making the repairs.
A code enforcement notice can mean a deadline, fines that keep growing, or in serious cases a house declared unsafe to live in. Making the repairs yourself can cost more than you have, especially on a house you don't plan to keep.
An open code case doesn't stop me from buying. I review the notice, factor the required work into the offer, and take on the repairs after closing.

How I handle it
- Open code cases, fines and condemnation notices are all fine
- I read the city's notice before I make an offer
- The required repairs become my job after closing
- A quick closing keeps fines from piling up
Questions about this
Can I sell a house with an open code violation?
Yes. A code case doesn't prevent a sale. The new owner takes on the required work, and I confirm the details with the city and the title company.
What happens to unpaid fines or special assessments?
They're typically paid from the proceeds at closing, like other liens.
The house has been condemned. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Condemned and vacant houses are exactly the kind I look at.
