Tell us about the house and what the code notice says, if you have it.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can ask us about a house with an open notice, an unsafe condition, or repairs that have not been done. Tell us what the house needs and what the notice says; you do not have to finish repairs, clean, or clear out the house before selling it to us.
California’s State Housing Law lets a local enforcement agency order a substandard building repaired or demolished, generally after 30 days’ notice—or sooner when there is an immediate threat to health and safety. If the owner does not act in time, the agency can vacate, repair, or demolish the building itself. See Health and Safety Code section 17980.
The agency records notice of a pending enforcement action with the county recorder, so it can appear in the property’s title records. A city can recover abatement costs by recording a nuisance-abatement lien with the force of a judgment lien, or by adding the cost to the property-tax bill as a special assessment. See Health and Safety Code section 17985, Government Code section 38773.1, and section 38773.5.
Existing orders, liens, deadlines, and any city approval requirements still need to be addressed as part of the sale; an as-is agreement does not erase them. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
If a mailing locality or a nearby municipal boundary makes the jurisdiction unclear, use the City of Los Angeles Neighborhood Info lookup to check City services and Council District for the address rather than guessing. For an open code notice, contact the enforcement agency named on the notice about its requirements and deadlines.
