Can You Sell a House With Code Violations in Hartford, CT?

📞 Call 888-274-5006What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can talk with us about the house and its notice without arranging repairs or clearing out the property first.
We review the property and notice with you, then give you the written offer and terms before you decide.
What can affect closing in Connecticut
Connecticut towns can enforce building, fire, health and housing codes and order repairs. Towns may impose fines under blight and housing ordinances; unpaid fines can become a lien on the property.
If a dangerous, unsanitary or blighted condition is not corrected, a town can secure, repair or demolish the building and recover its costs, including through a lien. An as-is sale does not erase existing orders, fines or liens; those still need to be addressed as part of the sale. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Connecticut law: Conn. Gen. Stat. §7-148, §7-148aa, and §49-73b.
