Lewistown Borough · Mifflin County, Pennsylvania
Can you sell a house with code violations in Lewistown Borough, PA?
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. In many cases, you can sell without first completing the repairs in a code notice. We buy houses as-is in Lewistown Borough and throughout Mifflin County. Tell us about the house and notice, and we’ll talk through a written cash offer.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk about the property.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Share the address and code notice so we can discuss the house.
What we buy
Sell the house with its code violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
We look at the house as it stands and talk through what the open violations mean for a possible sale.
What can affect closing
Pennsylvania’s rule for code violations during a sale
Usually, open violations alone do not stop a sale. Under Pennsylvania’s Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083), the municipality must issue a certificate so the sale can close, and the buyer gets 12 months to correct the violations. A property already under a court order or in a blight action is an exception. If an inspection is required before the sale, the certificate depends on the violations; a temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs, but not move in.

What happens next
Review the notice, written terms, and next steps
Tell us about the house and what the notice says, and we’ll talk through the situation with you. We give you our written offer and terms before you decide; if you choose to sell to us, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An existing order, court case, or obligation before closing still applies; the sale does not automatically cancel it.
