Question on code violations

[Patrick Miller]

my question is if you have a seller who has unpaid code violations from the city, and you enter a contract to purchase, what happens with the violation fines? Does he pay them after closing? Do you become responsible for them? Do they go away once title is transferred? Will title have issues because of the violations?

Thank you for responding...I’m just looking into making a list to mail to for wholesaling purposes and was unsure of how if they have fines adding up from the city, how that is handled if they were to agree to sell. If it would be worth the headache when the properties are only most likely 10-20k .
