What we buy
We buy houses with open code violations as-is in Youngstown and throughout Mahoning County, Ohio. You can sell without finishing code repairs first; we consider the house with the violations in view.
What can affect closing in Ohio?
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 is Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.253. Read 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.
