Harrisburg › Code Violations

Can I sell a house with code violations in Harrisburg?

The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.

Yes. We buy houses as-is in Harrisburg and Dauphin County, including houses with code violations. 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, not yours.

Have a code notice or a question about the property? Call us at 888-274-5006 or use the form. You can ask before you have every detail.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

What we buy

We buy the house with its code violations in place. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear it out to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours.

What can affect closing in Pennsylvania

Usually not. Under Pennsylvania's Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083), the town still has to issue a certificate so the sale can close, and the buyer gets 12 months to fix the violations. The exception is a property already under a court order or a blight action. If that describes your property, call us and we'll talk through the notice and the house. Read Pennsylvania's Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act.

If a municipality requires an inspection before a sale, the certificate depends on the violations. A temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs; it does not let a new occupant move in.
