What we buy
We buy a Rochester house with its code notices in place. You can talk with us about the property as it stands instead of taking on repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout before asking about an offer.
We can discuss the condition and the notice together.
What can affect closing
In New York, a municipality can order building-code violations repaired under Executive Law §382. A court can also order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders.
A notice, court order, or deadline can affect what must happen before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Read the state rule in New York Executive Law §382.

Questions about Rochester code violations
Can I sell a Rochester house with an open code violation?
Yes, a sale may be possible. The notice, any court order, and local requirements matter for the specific property. We buy houses as-is in Rochester and Monroe County, New York, including houses with code notices.
Does an as-is sale clear a code order or court case?
No. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve a municipal repair order or a court order. Selling does not automatically cancel an existing order, court case, or deadline before closing.
Can I call before I have the code notice?
Yes. Tell us the property address and what you know so far. If you have the notice or court papers, we can review them with you.
