Fixing building violations in Miami

I found a duplex in Miami that I really, really like.

There are various code violations on the property. To me they don't look like major violations although I have no experience in this matter.

Generally I've shied away from buying anything with violations as I have no experience in the area. I am very keen to buy this current property however I am overseas for a few months now and was wondering how things would go.

I've found a few companies that you can pay to fix everything for you as a 'one stop shop'. Does anyone have any experience with such companies?

If anyone has any recommendations or advice, I would really appreciate it.

Oh Troy, I was asking for helpful advice, not outright criticism.

FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Thank you but I rarely fail. I do not have any emotional attachment to the property whatsoever. I see it as a very positive investment.

Its an excellent property in very good condition, requiring almost nil work. I have had the structure of the property professionally inspected. However the best thing about the property is the area. Its in a very hot up and coming zipcode and a very central location. The street and the block are attractive and well kept. It's a few streets away from an extremely affluent Miami area but without the hefty price tag.

The property presents as an outstanding investment opportunity if I can resolve the violation issues.
