“The Cash Offer Company”
Getting a code violation notice in the mail can feel like a punch in the gut. Whether it’s for peeling paint, exposed wiring, illegal additions, or structural issues Richmond City doesn’t take these lightly.
If you’re worried that a code violation will prevent you from selling your house, you’re not alone. But there’s good news you can sell your house with code violations, and you may not even need to make repairs.
What Counts as a Code Violation in Richmond?
A code violation means your home doesn’t meet current property maintenance standards. Some common triggers include:
- Broken windows
- Unsafe decks or stairs
- Faulty wiring or plumbing
- Mold or water damage
- Structural problems
- Illegal renovations or additions
These can come from city inspections, neighbor complaints, or drive-by reports especially in high-oversight areas like The Fan and Jackson Ward.
Can I Still Sell My Richmond House?
Yes and you don’t have to fix everything (or anything) first.
You have two main options:
1. Fix the Violation
Hire licensed contractors, pull permits, and hope the city signs off.
But that means:
- Spending thousands in repairs
- Delaying your move or sale
- Risking more inspections
2. Sell the House As-Is
This is the fastest route if you’re overwhelmed, under a deadline, or just done with the hassle.
At The Cash Offer Company, we buy Richmond houses in any condition even with active code violations. We’ve helped homeowners in Bon Air, Southside, and Midlothian sell without lifting a hammer.
What Happens If I Ignore a Code Violation?
Ignoring the problem could result in:
- Daily fines
- Liens placed on your property
- Court appearances
- Forced demolition (in extreme cases)
Selling quickly to a buyer who understands Richmond’s system is often the cleanest way out.
