What we buy
We buy houses as-is in Salem and Columbiana County, Ohio. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what the notice says and what repairs it lists; you do not have to complete the repairs before asking us about a sale.
A direct sale means we are the buyer. An open notice or existing case still needs to be addressed, but you do not have to repair the house first just to ask about selling.
What can affect closing
If you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Rev. Code §5301.253.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
If the City has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. An existing order, court case, or deadline may still need attention before closing.

Local help with a Salem code notice
For a property inside Salem city limits, the City of Salem Housing Department describes housing-code compliance work and regularly scheduled inspections or investigations of non-owner-occupied residential units. Its page links a Code Enforcement Portal and a vacant-structure registration form. This description does not establish an inspection requirement for every residential sale or determine what applies to a specific house.
City of Salem Housing Department and code-enforcement information
A Salem mailing address alone does not confirm that a home is inside the City. The City points residents to its address-number-range list to check. If the property is outside city limits, use the municipality or office named on the notice to ask what remains open.
