Sell a Philadelphia House With Code Violations — As-Is, For Cash
Code violations can turn a house into a money pit. Whether you’ve received notices from the Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I), you’re racking up daily fines, or your property simply won’t pass inspection, you don’t have to fix any of it to sell. We buy houses with violations exactly as they are — and we take on the work and the cost after closing.
Common Philadelphia L&I Violations We Buy Around
- Unsafe or imminently dangerous structure citations
- Vacant property violations and the vacant-property fee
- Missing rental license or failed rental inspections
- Property maintenance issues — roofing, plumbing, electrical, structural
- Trash, exterior, or zoning violations
- Open or expired permits from unfinished work
Why Code Violations Get Expensive Fast
Unresolved violations don’t just sit there. They can mean escalating daily fines, court dates, and liens against the property — and they make a house very hard to sell on the open market, because most retail buyers and their lenders won’t touch a home that can’t pass inspection. The longer they sit, the more they cost.
Your Options
Fix everything yourself
You can hire contractors, pull permits, resolve each violation, and then list the home. That’s time, money, and stress — with no guarantee the sale goes smoothly afterward.
Sell as-is to a cash buyer
Or you can sell the house as-is to us. Liberty Pathway Homes buys Philadelphia properties with open violations for cash. We factor the repairs and fines into a fair offer, handle the violations after closing, and you walk away clean — no contractors, no permits, no inspections to pass.
How It Works
Tell us about the property, we research the violations, and we make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer — usually within 24 hours. There are no agent fees, no commissions, and no repair costs. You pick the closing date, and we can often close in as little as 7–14 days. Get your free cash offer here.
