What we buy
We buy the Lorain house with its code violations in place. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out before selling to us. Tell us what the notice says and what the house needs, and we can discuss the property as it stands.
What can affect closing in Ohio
Usually, yes, you can sell a house with open code violations. If you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Tell us about the notice and any court papers when we talk, and we'll walk through it with you.
