If you’ve received a code enforcement notice from the City of San Leandro, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. Whether it’s peeling paint, an overgrown yard, an unsafe structure, or illegal additions, code violations can quickly become overwhelming and expensive.
At R&H Distressed Properties, we help San Leandro homeowners get out from under the stress of violations by offering a fast, cash sale — no repairs required. If you’re dealing with threats of fines or even a lien, here’s what you need to know.
What Are Common Code Violations in San Leandro?
San Leandro’s Code Enforcement Division actively looks for properties that violate local ordinances, especially those that appear unsafe or neglected. Common violations include:
- Broken windows or exterior damage
- Unpermitted construction or garage conversions
- Overgrown weeds or junk accumulation
- Inoperable vehicles on the property
- Structural issues or unsafe living conditions
- Hoarding or unsanitary conditions
- Vacant homes not properly secured
Left unresolved, these can lead to daily fines, recorded liens, or even abatement actions from the city.
Your Options If You Have Code Violations in San Leandro
🛠️ Option 1: Fix the Violations Yourself
This involves hiring contractors, pulling permits, and passing inspections — all of which cost money and time. It’s a solution if you plan to stay in the home, but not ideal if you want to sell quickly.
🤝 Option 2: Work Out a Payment Plan With the City
In some cases, San Leandro will negotiate payment arrangements or timelines for compliance — but this doesn’t eliminate the problem, just delays it.
💰 Option 3: Sell the Property As-Is to a Cash Buyer
If you want to walk away from the stress entirely, selling your house as-is — violations and all — is often the best path. At R&H Distressed Properties, we buy homes in San Leandro with open code violations, unpaid liens, and deferred maintenance.
