Sell a Building With Violations in NYC

Open DOB, HPD, or ECB violations can make a building nearly impossible to sell or refinance the traditional way. We buy buildings with violations as-is, for cash, and can close over most of them — so a compliance problem stops being your problem.

Violations that block traditional sales

Open Department of Buildings and HPD violations, ECB judgments, stop-work orders, and illegal-conversion issues scare off financed buyers, because lenders often won't fund a building that can't clear its record. That's exactly the situation where a cash buyer is most useful.

We underwrite the cost of resolving violations into our offer and take on the cleanup ourselves, so you don't have to spend months and money curing them before you can sell.

We handle the compliance cleanup

Unpaid violations, accrued penalties, and outstanding orders are a normal part of what we buy. In most cases we can close over them and resolve them after closing as part of our own process, rather than requiring you to clear the record first.

A way out of a stuck situation

If your building is caught between mounting penalties and buyers who keep walking away, a direct cash sale is often the cleanest exit. You stop the accruing costs, avoid the cure work, and hand off the compliance picture entirely — usually closing within weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you buy a building with open DOB or HPD violations?

Yes — that's one of the main reasons owners come to us. We buy as-is and can close over most violations, resolving them ourselves afterward.

Do I need to clear the violations before selling?

No. We underwrite the cure cost into our offer and take on the cleanup after closing, so you don't have to fix anything first.

What about accrued penalties and ECB judgments?

We factor these into our valuation. In most cases we can close over them rather than requiring you to satisfy them up front.
