How we help sellers with code violations
City notices and repair deadlines can feel overwhelming—especially when you don’t have the cash or bandwidth to bring the property into compliance. Kevin Buys Baltimore Houses (KDD Development LLC) is a local cash buyer for owners who want an as-is sale instead of funding a long repair list first.
- Owners with citations or violation notices who don’t want to fund the repairs
- Sellers who received a vacant building or related city notice
- Properties that need major work and won’t show well on the retail market
- Anyone comparing a traditional listing vs. a direct as-is cash sale
Not legal advice. We do not represent you with the city, interpret enforcement actions, or stop fines or deadlines. For questions about notices, hearings, or compliance, speak with a licensed Maryland attorney or contact the city directly. If the house is mainly empty and notices aren’t the focus, see Sell a Vacant House in Baltimore. If mortgage distress is the bigger issue, see Sell Before Foreclosure.

Cash sale vs. listing with code issues
A cash buyer isn’t right for every property with violations—but many Baltimore owners choose cash when they don’t want to front repair money before selling.
| Topic | Cash with KDD | Typical retail listing |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs / violations | Buy as-is; you generally don’t have to complete the work first | Often expects repairs or credits before closing |
| Showings | Direct buyer; fewer appointments | Marketing a distressed property can be harder |
| Fees | No agent commission from our purchase | Listing fees and seller concessions common |
| Certainty | Clear cash terms; timeline you choose | Buyer financing and inspection demands can stall |
| Best when | You want out without funding the repair list | You can wait and bring the house to market condition |

Common questions about selling with code violations
Will you buy a house with open code violations as-is?
Yes. We purchase many Baltimore homes that have citations, need repairs, or wouldn’t pass a retail buyer’s inspection. Condition and known issues are reflected in the offer—you generally don’t have to complete city-ordered work before asking us for a number.
Can you stop fines or handle my case with the city?
No. We are a cash real estate buyer, not attorneys or city representatives. We cannot guarantee outcomes with enforcement, hearings, or fines. For legal questions about notices or deadlines, consult a licensed Maryland attorney or the issuing agency. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
Do I need to finish the repairs before closing?
Usually not for a sale to us. We buy as-is. Tell us what you know about the condition and any notices so the offer can reflect reality. Title and closing still need to be workable—we’ll discuss what’s practical for your property.
How fast is the cash offer and closing?
A cash offer typically comes within about 24 hours after we have the property details we need. Closing speed depends on title and your readiness. Tell us what timeline you need.
Is requesting an offer a contract?
No. Submitting the form or calling for an offer is not a contract. You’re free to compare options and decide.
What if the house is also vacant?
That’s common. This page focuses on code violations / notices / repairs you don’t want to fund. If vacancy and carrying costs are your main frame (and notices aren’t), see Sell a Vacant House in Baltimore. You can still tell us about both when you request an offer.
Are there realtor fees when you buy?
When you sell directly to us, you’re not paying a traditional listing commission on our purchase. Net proceeds still depend on price, closing costs, and any mortgages or liens—ask us to walk through the numbers on your offer.
