Providence safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If fire or building officials have restricted access, do not enter the restricted area; follow their instructions for that address. Before removing debris or starting repairs, ask Providence’s Department of Inspection and Standards which permits or inspections apply to the planned work.
Providence requires a smoke and carbon monoxide detector inspection for a home being sold. Check the current instructions with the Fire Prevention Bureau.
If you have been served with a housing-code violation notice or order, Rhode Island law allows you to sell before the listed problems are fixed only if you first give the buyer a true copy of every notice or order. Before transfer, you must also notify the code officer in writing that you intend to sell and include the buyer’s name and address. Deliver that notice by hand with a receipt or by registered or certified mail. Read Rhode Island General Laws § 45-24.3-17 and confirm how it applies with the code officer or an attorney.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a contractor’s written repair scope and estimates beside the information from your insurer, any mortgage-servicer requirements, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Use figures for this house; a general repair estimate cannot tell you what this property needs or what an insurer will pay.
The Providence net-proceeds calculator lets you compare sale options using your own assumptions. It cannot estimate your insurance payment or the repair scope for this property.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“The three-decker on Charlton Street had a chimney collapse in February — took out the back wall of the second floor. Structural damage, water intrusion from the open wall. My insurance company offered $37,000. Contractor said $61,000. I'm not fighting that battle. USA Home Buyers made a fair offer the next day. Closed in nine days.”
“Massachusetts foreclosure is non-judicial — the lender can foreclose by advertisement without going to court, and it can happen in as little as three months. I was behind and didn't realize how fast it would move. USA Home Buyers explained the timeline and had a written offer the same day I called. Closed in eleven days. Foreclosure cancelled.”
“I had a rental on Grafton Street that I'd been managing for eight years. Problem tenant, lead paint issues, city notices piling up. I couldn't afford to fix it and didn't want to go through eviction. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is with the tenant still there. Done in 11 days.”
