Can you sell a house with code violations in Albany, NY?

What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what the notice says and what condition the house is in; you do not have to finish the listed work before asking about a sale.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or seller obligation is not erased before closing.
What can affect closing in New York?
A New York sale may be possible with open code violations, but the notices, court orders, and local requirements matter. Under New York Executive Law § 382, a municipality can order building-code violations repaired, and a court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders. Send us the notices so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs and deadlines.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What happens next
- Tell us the Albany address, the house's condition, and what the notice or any court papers say.
- We talk through the property and the notice with you. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
