What we buy
We can consider a house with an open permit, citation, failed inspection, repair notice, or serious disrepair. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out to sell to us.
Selling as-is means you can ask us to buy the property in its current condition. It does not cancel an existing agency order, lien, or deadline; those still need attention as part of the sale.
What can affect closing in California
California's State Housing Law lets a local enforcement agency order a substandard building repaired or demolished, generally after 30 days' notice. The agency can allow less time 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. See California Health and Safety Code §17980.
The agency records notice of a pending enforcement action with the county recorder, so it appears in the property's title records. See California Health and Safety Code §17985.
Cities 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 California Government Code §38773.1 and §38773.5.
Existing orders, recorded notices, liens, and any local approval requirements still need to be addressed as part of the sale; an as-is agreement does not erase them or stop a deadline. Share the notice so we and the closing professional can work through the repairs and closing questions. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address, its condition, and what the notice says, including any deadline you see.
- We talk through the house and the violation details, then put the offer and terms in writing before you commit.
- If you choose to move forward, closing is through a title company. Existing orders, liens, and official deadlines still need to be addressed for the property.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Redding code-enforcement help
The City of Redding Code Enforcement page publishes information and complaint channels for local code matters. For a property within Redding city limits, it is a useful starting point; check the agency named on your notice for the requirements and deadlines on that case. A property outside city limits may have a different responsible office. See the City of Redding Code Enforcement page and the City's contact and routing information.
