What we buy with code violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what work the notice lists so we can discuss the house and the situation with you before you decide whether an offer fits.
What can affect closing in New York
A sale may be possible, but the notice, any court order, and local requirements matter. Under New York Executive Law §382, a municipality can order building-code violations repaired, and a court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders. Share the notice and any related court papers so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs and deadlines.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An existing order, deadline, or seller responsibility before closing still needs to be addressed.
City of Oneonta code and inspection help
The City Code Enforcement page includes rental-related inspection and certificate information, tenant forms, short-term-rental materials, and a vacant-property registration form. Contact the City to confirm whether an inspection, certificate, or deadline applies to a specific address.

Questions about selling with code violations
Can I sell a Oneonta house with code violations?
A sale may be possible. A municipality can order building-code violations repaired, and a court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. Notices, orders, deadlines, and local requirements still matter; an as-is agreement does not by itself resolve them.
Do I have to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, deadline, or seller responsibility before closing still needs to be addressed.
What should I share about a code notice or order?
Tell us what the notice says and whether it lists a deadline or refers to a court proceeding. If you have the notice or related papers, we can discuss them with the property.
What happens after I ask about an offer?
We talk through the house and notice with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive the written offer and terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
