We buy Gary houses with code violations as-is
A city notice, repair list, or unsafe condition can make a regular listing harder to prepare. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the house before asking us to review it. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the work; we look at the property in its current condition.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What can affect closing
Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law does not automatically apply to every Indiana locality. It applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. The materials here do not establish whether Gary has adopted the law, so confirm whether it applies to your particular notice with the issuing authority and your closing professional.
Where the law applies, an owner who received an unsafe-building order and has not complied must give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer’s name, address, and phone number and the transfer document.
Where the law applies, a recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on. Selling does not automatically cancel an existing order, court case, or duty that applies before closing. Bring the notice and any court papers to the title or closing professional early so the requirements and restrictions can be checked.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Read the Indiana Code provisions on when the Unsafe Building Law applies and the Indiana Code provisions on transfers with an unsafe-building order.
