Can Tony buy my Newburgh 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.

How House with Code Violations Works in Newburgh
Some Orange County towns will not allow a normal MLS sale of a condemned property — the property must be brought up to code first or the buyer must accept the violations in writing. Tony accepts violations as part of the purchase contract; no rehab is required of the seller.
Sections of Newburgh Tony Buys In
Newburgh has historic brick row houses and Victorian houses, many in distressed condition. Tony buys condemned, abandoned, and tax-foreclosure properties. The East End Historic District — one of the largest in New York State — is 1840s–1900s brick Italianate and Second Empire rowhouses and townhouses on the hill above the Hudson, many converted to three- and four-family apartments and many vacant; the West End and the Heights are 1900s–1920s frame houses and 1950s capes; and Broadway, one of the widest main streets in the state, is mixed-use buildings with apartments over empty storefronts.

Selling a House in Newburgh: What Tony Already Knows
Newburgh sellers call Tony about a brick rowhouse on Grand or Liberty Street that a family has owned since the 1960s and can no longer keep up — a slate roof, a failed boiler, a City building-department order, and a tenant who stopped paying. Others are out-of-town investors who bought during a Brooklyn-to-Newburgh wave, ran out of money mid-renovation, and now owe back taxes to the City and the County. Heirs to a West End frame house often live in New Jersey or the Carolinas and don't want to manage a vacant property that the City has flagged. Tony buys the rowhouse occupied, the half-done renovation with its open permits, and the vacant house with the violations — one number on the phone, closing on your date.

What a Newburgh closing actually involves
Newburgh sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony nets it into his offer. Orange County closings run on an updated abstract of title, deeds record with the Orange County Clerk in Goshen, and estates go through Orange County Surrogate's Court there. The City of Newburgh forecloses on delinquent city taxes and Orange County holds its own auction for county taxes — a cash closing that pays the arrears stops both. Historic-district buildings carry Architectural Review Commission rules on exterior work, which affect Tony's renovation, not your sale.
How a Cash Offer on a Newburgh House Is Actually Built
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.

Questions From Newburgh Sellers
What about the daily fines my Newburgh town is charging?
Paid at closing from the proceeds. Once Tony owns the property, the fines stop accruing against you.
Will the town let me sell a property with active citations?
Yes. The citations are between the town and the property; selling to Tony doesn't require the town's approval. Tony accepts violations in writing as part of the purchase contract.
What if my Newburgh house has multiple code issues — structural, electrical, plumbing?
Tony's offer prices condition into the cash number. The more wrong with the property, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
Can Tony close before the next Newburgh code-court date?
In most cases, yes. Once the property is sold, the seller is no longer a party to the code case. The case continues against the new owner (Tony) and Tony resolves it.
Does Tony buy vacant and boarded-up rowhouses in Newburgh's East End?
Yes. Vacant, boarded, fire-damaged, and City-flagged rowhouses in the East End Historic District are a regular Tony purchase, along with occupied three- and four-families on Grand, Liberty, and Lander Streets, frame houses in the West End and the Heights, and mixed-use buildings on Broadway. One call with the address gets you a number.
My Newburgh building has City code violations and a rental-registry problem. Will Tony buy it?
Yes, occupied or empty. City of Newburgh Code Compliance violations, an unsafe-building order, and rental-registry issues transfer to Tony at closing, and he deals with them after he owns it. Fines that have become liens are paid from the proceeds. You don't need to make repairs or bring the building into compliance before selling.
I bought a Newburgh rowhouse to renovate and can't finish. Can Tony buy it mid-project?
Yes. Open permits, a gutted interior, a contractor's lien, and back taxes are all things Tony has closed through. Liens and arrears are paid from the proceeds, the open permits become his to close out with the City, and he prices the building on what's left to do. He closes on your schedule and wires the balance.
My Newburgh property is on the City's tax-foreclosure list. Can Tony close before the City takes it?
Usually, if you call before the foreclosure is final. Tony's title company orders the City and County tax payoffs, the arrears come out of the proceeds at closing, and his cash closing in about a week keeps you ahead of the deadline. After the City takes title, the equity is gone — so call the day the notice arrives.
