Can you sell a house with code violations in Sandusky, OH?

We buy the Sandusky house with its violations in place. You don't have to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us. If we buy it, the repairs become our job, not yours. Tell us what the notice says so we can talk about the house and the situation it describes.

Ohio law usually allows you to sell a house with open code violations. 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 notice rule is in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253.

One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling the house does not automatically end that case. When we talk, let us know about the notice and any court papers.

Sandusky has an older housing segment. The City's housing program guidance addresses properties built before 1950 and supports exterior repairs and rehabilitation of existing homes. That is local housing context, not a statement about the inspection or permit requirements for your property.

1. Call or use the form to tell us the address, what the house needs, and what the city sent you.
2. We'll talk through the property and notice, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
3. You'll have the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you accept, closing is through a title company.

For a city notice, start with the office or contact listed on the notice and ask about the open items, any inspection or permit steps, and the deadline for your address. The City of Sandusky's official website is the city-government starting point. Its Neighborhoods & Housing page describes local support for exterior repairs and rehabilitation of existing homes; it does not determine what a particular notice requires.
