Buying Property with a Notice to Repair
Unfortunately, new home buyers are often surprised by the bills for sidewalk work that was required and performed before they purchased their property.
While notified sellers have a legal duty to disclose such information, new owners sometimes indicate that they were not informed of the Notice of Repair. Legal remedies oftentimes are more expensive than the bills themselves, leaving new homebuyers frustrated with the seller, their realtor, and the City.
If you are contemplating purchasing property in the City, please refer to the maps on this page to see where the Sidewalk Safety Program has completed or is currently completing required sidewalk work.
If you have questions as to what the "real-time" status is of any location (work required, work completed, billing underway, or the balance due for an assessment), please contact the Sidewalk Safety Program.
