[WSBARP] Nuisance orders on residential real property

[Jay Goldstein]

Generally I would contact the municipal govt that issued the notices and orders, explain the situation, agree to abate the nuisance and abate the nuisance, get rid of the tenant, and then you should be good to list the property for sale.

Then also get the tenant to pay for the work if possible.

Subject: [WSBARP] Nuisance orders on residential real property

Colleagues:

I am probating an estate holding real property. Two nuisance notices & orders stating that the owner (deceased) failed to timely abate the nuisance. Unfortunately, the property has been occupied by a tenant for many years and the tenant is responsible for causing the issues constituting the nuisance to arise. Has anyone had experience with this issue, in particular, how it impacts any sale of the real property?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Best,

Claudia
