What can affect closing in Connecticut
In Connecticut, local building, fire, health, and housing officials can enforce state and local codes and order repairs. Towns may adopt blight and housing ordinances with fines; unpaid fines under those ordinances become a lien on the property. If an owner does not fix a dangerous, unsanitary, or blighted condition, a town can secure, repair, or demolish the building and recover its costs from the owner, including through a lien on the property.
Open orders, fines, liens, court cases, and deadlines can affect the sale. We talk through the notice with you so the buyer and closing attorney can account for what applies. Connecticut law describes these municipal powers in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148, § 7-148aa, and § 49-73b.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
