What we buy with code violations

We buy the house with its code violations in place. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can consider the property in its current condition and talk through the notice with you.

What can affect closing in Ohio

Ohio homeowners can usually sell with open code violations. If you received written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before signing the sale agreement. Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253.

When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case.
