Call (555) 555-CASHYes. BuyHousesInCash buys condemned and uninhabitable properties in Costa Mesa, California routinely.

We're investors, not occupants — we buy with plans to either rehab to code or, in extreme cases, demolish and rebuild. Your condemnation order becomes our problem.
Accrued code enforcement fines in Costa Mesa are typically liens against the property. They get paid off at closing from sale proceeds, just like a mortgage or tax lien. Some California jurisdictions will negotiate down accumulated fines once a sale is pending and repairs are scheduled. BuyHousesInCash can sometimes negotiate these reductions on your behalf.
No. BuyHousesInCash buys Costa Mesa properties strictly as-is. Whatever the city is demanding — roof replacement, foundation work, structural repairs, lead paint abatement, electrical updates — becomes our responsibility after closing.

Yes, but timing matters. California demolition orders typically allow 30-90 days before the city begins demolition proceedings.

Don't wait — call as soon as you receive a demolition notice.

Asbestos and lead-paint disclosures in California pre-1978 homes carry separate legal exposure beyond code violations.
