We buy Fremont houses with code violations as-is
You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear out belongings before asking us to consider it. We can talk through the property as it is and how any open notice or repair work fits into a sale.
What can affect closing in Michigan
Michigan's dangerous-building law gives a municipality a notice-and-hearing process for a building it treats as dangerous. The municipality can order the building demolished, made safe, or maintained. If the owner does not comply, the municipality can pursue the work and seek repayment. Certain unpaid costs can become a property lien only after the required notice and recording steps. See MCL 125.540–125.541 and MCL 125.541(1)–(6), including the lien conditions.
This process applies to dangerous-building proceedings, not every code notice. A specific order or deadline can still affect a sale; selling as-is does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
