Received a code violation notice from the City of Richmond? Whether it’s peeling paint, overgrown landscaping, a non-permitted garage conversion, or something more serious — you’re not alone. Many Richmond homeowners find themselves facing citations they don’t have the time, energy, or money to fix.
The good news is you don’t have to take on the repairs yourself. You can sell your property as-is, even with open violations — and we’ll show you how.
Code Enforcement Richmond CA
Richmond’s code enforcement department actively monitors properties for a wide range of issues. Common violations include:
- Trash or debris in the yard
- Unpermitted additions or structures
- Inoperable vehicles on the property
- Deteriorating exterior paint or roof
- Hoarding or unsanitary conditions
- Vacant and unsecured homes
Neighborhoods like Iron Triangle, Southside, and Belding Woods are often cited due to aging housing stock and stricter city enforcement policies.
What Happens If You Ignore a Violation?
If you don’t resolve the issue, Richmond may:
- Charge daily fines
- Issue a lien against your property
- Take legal action
- Schedule abatement (they fix it and charge you)
- Hurt your ability to refinance or sell
In many cases, the cost to fix violations — from electrical rewiring to structural repairs — can climb into the tens of thousands.
Your Best Option: Sell the Property As-Is
Instead of paying out-of-pocket or navigating permits and contractors, you can sell the home to a Richmond cash home buyer like R&H Distressed Properties.
