Can Tony buy my Horseheads house if it's condemned?
Yes. Tony has bought condemned NJ and NY properties for years. The condemnation transfers with the deed; Tony's team handles the rebuild or demolition paperwork after closing.
Active code citations? Condemnation order? Daily fines piling up? Tony buys Chemung County properties with open code cases and resolves the violations after closing. You walk away free of the town's hold.
Code violation letters can feel like the town is closing in on you. The fines stack up faster than you can fix anything. The contractor estimates are five figures. The deadline keeps moving. Tony has bought Horseheads houses with active code cases and condemnation orders. Tony's company resolves the violations after closing — you don't have to fix anything to sell.
If the Chemung County building department has issued a condemnation or "unsafe to occupy" notice on your Horseheads property, Tony still buys. Most cash buyers won't touch condemned properties; Tony specializes in them.

The kind of ranch property Tony has bought in Horseheads.
Chemung County is Elmira, Horseheads, and Big Flats — 1880s-1920s frame houses in the city and post-war capes out toward the Arnot Mall corridor. Corning Inc. commuters, Elmira College, Arnot Ogden Medical Center, and Elmira Correctional Facility drive most demand.
Chemung effective rates run roughly 2.8-3.4% of full value; the City of Elmira is the high end, Big Flats and Horseheads somewhat lower.

Common Horseheads code-violation situations Tony has handled: vacant houses with broken windows, properties with collapsing porches or unsafe stairs, structures cited for unpermitted additions, hoarder houses with municipal code holds, fire-damaged properties with stop-work orders, and houses condemned after long vacancy.
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.
