01
Open permit surfaces during title
Title underwriter flags an unfinaled permit from a prior owner. Closing is at risk. We pull the file, contact the municipality, identify the closeout path, and, where possible, coordinate the final inspection and permit closure before the closing date. Where a same-week close is not realistic, we help structure an escrow or post-closing agreement supported by a written scope.
02
Notice of Violation on a listed property
Your seller receives a Notice of Violation mid-listing. We review the notice, map the cure path, coordinate the after-the-fact permit or corrective work required, and represent the property through resolution. Your seller's counsel and title team stay looped in on status.
03
Recorded lien on a property under contract
A code-enforcement lien or municipal assessment appears in title. We work with the seller, seller's counsel, and the municipality to identify the mitigation path, coordinate the corrective work, and, where warranted, attend the Special Magistrate or Code Enforcement Board hearing to seek a reduced assessment. Lien resolution is what actually unblocks the closing.
04
Unpermitted work discovered in inspection
A four-point or general inspection flags an unpermitted addition, garage conversion, enclosed terrace, or ductless mini split. We scope the after-the-fact permit, coordinate any engineering or drawings required, and give the seller a realistic timeline and cost estimate they can share with the buyer's side.
05
Pre-listing property review
You want to know what will surface before the buyer's side finds it. A 4Walls Report reads the property's permits, violations, liens and citations, and what is built against what was permitted, and marks each finding confirmed or needs verification, so you know what is worth resolving before you list.
