What can affect closing
You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. If the order is recorded, it stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on. Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Where the law applies, if you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. (Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1, -3, and -26–27.)
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
