What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what the house needs and what the notice requires; you do not need to finish the listed work before asking about a sale.
You can share the violation notice and talk through the house with us before deciding whether a written offer fits your situation.
What can affect closing in New York?
New York law lets a municipality order building-code violations repaired. A court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders. The notice, court papers, local requirements, and deadlines can affect what needs to happen before closing. This rule is in New York Executive Law §382.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or deadline does not disappear before closing just because the house is sold as-is.
Keep the notice and any court papers together. Send them to us so the buyer and closing professional can work through the required repairs and timing with you.
What happens next
- Tell us the Corning property address, its condition, and what the notice or court papers say.
- We talk through the house, the repairs, and any deadlines with you.
- You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.

Questions About Selling a Corning House With Code Violations
Can I sell a Corning house with open code violations?
A sale may be possible. We buy houses as-is in Corning, NY and Steuben County, including houses with violations or serious repair needs. Notices, court orders, and local requirements still matter; an as-is agreement does not by itself resolve them.
Do I have to make repairs before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Will selling the house end a code order or court case?
No. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve an existing order or court case, and a deadline does not disappear just because the house is sold. Share the notice and court papers so the buyer and closing professional can review what is still required.
What should I share about a violation notice?
Tell us the property address and what the notice says. Include any court papers, repair requirements, and stated deadlines so we can discuss them with you and the closing professional.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We talk through the house and any notices or court papers. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Monroe County family court, sale required. Park Avenue condo, beautiful neighborhood, but neither of us could buy out the other and we both needed the money to start over. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer the same week we called. Both attorneys said yes, closed in thirteen days.”
“I was behind on my mortgage after a medical situation. New York judicial foreclosure takes 12-24 months, but once the bank files in Monroe County Supreme Court, your options narrow fast. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where I stood and closed before the foreclosure judgment. I walked out with enough to start over.”
“Lake Ontario flooding in the spring got into our basement on Lakeshore Boulevard twice. The second time killed the furnace and HVAC and left six inches of standing water. Our insurer totaled the contents but fought the structural claim. USA Home Buyers knew Charlotte's flood situation well — no surprises in the offer, no inspection drama. Closed in ten days.”
