How people end up here
Someone complains, or an inspector drives by. A notice goes out. Fees start attaching to the
property. The work required is more than the owner can pay for or coordinate — especially if they are
elderly, out of state, or dealing with an estate — so the deadline passes, and the file escalates.
By the time most owners call us, the practical question is no longer "how do I fix this" but "how
do I get out from under it before it grows."
What we buy
- Properties with an active Order to Comply or equivalent notice from a local building department
- Substandard housing designations and habitability cases
- Unpermitted construction subject to an enforcement action
- Nuisance, debris, overgrowth, and inoperable-vehicle cases
- Properties with recorded liens tied to code enforcement
- Vacant properties with boarding requirements or a registration obligation
What it costs you
We price in the cure — the work, the permits, the fees, and the time it takes to close the file.
That reduces the offer, and we will show you the line so you can see exactly what we assumed. If our
assumption is too pessimistic and you have a bid that proves it, bring it. We would rather be
corrected than be wrong.
The thing to watch
Recorded liens and accrued fees generally have to be resolved through escrow, which means they come
out of proceeds. Ask any buyer directly whether their number is before or after those get paid, because
an offer that looks higher can net you less. We state it plainly in writing.
