Code Violations & Fines

Citations piling up? We buy as-is, violations and all.

Open permits, unsafe-structure notices, daily fines that keep growing — code problems can feel like a trap. You don’t have to bring the house up to code, pull permits, or fight the township first. We buy properties with violations in place and deal with the municipality ourselves.

A New Jersey home with open code issues

Very professional organization, easy to deal with. It was a pleasure dealing with them from start to finish.

Sean T.Homeowner

It snowballs fast

Code problems rarely start as a crisis.

A missed permit, a tenant complaint, an inspection that turned up more than expected. Then the notices start, the fines accrue by the day, and the list of required repairs grows faster than anyone can keep up with. For an owner who’s already stretched, it can feel impossible to get ahead of.

Most people in this spot aren’t ignoring the problem. They simply don’t have the time, money, or stomach to fix everything a township is demanding, especially on a property they’d rather be done with. They want the liability to stop being theirs.

You don’t have to resolve every violation yourself. Selling the property is a legitimate way to put the whole thing behind you.

Why selling with violations is so hard the traditional way

With open violations, most buyers and agents walk.

List it and the township issues block the sale; buyers’ lenders won’t fund a house that can’t pass inspection. And many cash buyers back out the moment they see the citations. Here’s the difference.

The runaround you don’t need

Listing or an unprepared buyer

  • Pull permits and complete every required repair before a sale can even close
  • Buyers whose lenders won’t approve a home with open violations or failed inspections
  • Fines that keep accruing by the day while the property sits on the market
  • You left coordinating inspectors, contractors, and the township until the day it closes

A buyer who deals with the township

Holly Nance Group

  • We buy with violations in place — no permits to pull, no repairs to make first
  • We pay cash, so there’s no lender to refuse the property over its condition
  • We work directly with code officials and municipalities and take the issues on after closing
  • We offer based on the home as-is, fines and all, so the number reflects reality

Once it’s sold, the citations and the fines are no longer your problem.

How the process works

Putting it behind you is simpler than fixing it.

Three straightforward steps: no permits, no repairs, no standoff with the township.

01

Call us or fill out the form

Tell us about the property and the violations on it. No judgment, and no need to have it all figured out first.

02

Receive a fair cash offer

We evaluate the home as-is, with the open violations and fines factored in, and make a real cash offer.

03

Close and walk away

If you move forward, we handle the municipal side and close on a timeline that works for you.

Real people. Real results.

Common questions

Selling a property with code violations

Do I have to fix the violations before selling?

No. We buy properties with open violations and code issues in place. There’s nothing you need to repair or bring up to code first.

What about the fines that have already added up?

We factor existing fines into our offer and address them as part of the purchase, so they stop being your responsibility after closing.

Can you really close with open permits?

Yes. We regularly handle open permits and unresolved inspections directly with the municipality after we buy.

Will I have to deal with the township or inspectors?

No. Once we’re under contract, we take over communication with code officials so you don’t have to.

How fast can this close?

That depends on title and paperwork, but we move as quickly as the situation allows and keep you informed every step of the way.

What if the house also needs major repairs?

That’s fine. We buy in any condition, so repairs and violations together are not a problem.

Let the violations stop being yours.

If the citations and fines have become more than you want to manage, you’re allowed to step away. A short, confidential conversation can help you decide if selling is the right move, with no obligation.
