What we buy
We can review the house with its violations and notice. Tell us what work the notice lists; you do not need to start repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before asking about an as-is sale. We’ll talk through the property and the notice together.
What can affect closing in Louisiana?
For an unsafe building, Louisiana law lets a parish or city order repairs or demolition after the required notice and hearing. The notice process and the effect on a later owner are addressed in Louisiana Revised Statutes § 33:4762; the repair or demolition order is covered by § 33:4763.
A condemnation notice recorded in the mortgage records can bind a later owner. If the government performs demolition or maintenance, the costs can become a lien, and the owner can remain personally liable. See § 33:4766. Selling the house does not erase an existing order or those charges. Have the notice and any lien paperwork ready for the closing attorney.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order or liability that applies before closing.

Local help with an Alexandria code notice
For a property inside Alexandria city limits, the City’s Code Enforcement page is a route for municipal code questions. Its Community Development page describes a demolition program for abandoned, blighted, burned, or deteriorating structures. Use the notice and current case record to ask what applies to that address; if another authority sent the notice, start with the contact listed on it.

For construction permits or inspection requests, the City lists contacts on its Building Permits and Other Licenses page. Those contacts are for construction projects or inspection requests; the page does not establish that selling a house requires a new inspection.
