What we buy
We buy Amsterdam houses with code notices or repair lists. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What can affect closing in New York?
New York Executive Law § 382 allows a municipality to order building-code violations repaired. A court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An existing order or court deadline can affect what happens before closing. The rule is in New York Executive Law § 382.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
