Case Study: The Code Violations on SW 18th Avenue in Boynton Beach.

The Challenge: A Neglected Home, Escalating Fines in Boynton Beach

When we first received the call about Ms. Eleanor Vance's property on SW 18th Avenue in Boynton Beach, the situation was already critical. Ms. Vance, an elderly resident, had recently moved in with family due to declining health, leaving her long-time home vacant. What started as typical deferred maintenance quickly escalated into a full-blown code enforcement nightmare.

The house, a charming 1968 concrete block home in the Congress Park area, had been neglected for months. The yard was severely overgrown, with knee-high grass and accumulating debris. A dilapidated, unpermitted shed in the backyard was falling apart, triggering multiple notices from the City of Boynton Beach's Code Compliance Department. Peeling paint on the exterior walls and a visibly broken window further added to the violations.

Ms. Vance's family, overwhelmed with her care, simply didn't have the time, resources, or knowledge to address the issues or navigate the bureaucratic process with the City of Boynton Beach. Daily fines were accumulating, threatening to turn into a substantial lien against the property. They feared losing the equity Ms. Vance had built over decades, all because they couldn't get the house into compliance.

When we walked into the property, the air was heavy with the smell of stale air and neglect. Piles of unopened mail, including official City of Boynton Beach violation notices, sat on the counter. The stress on Ms. Vance's daughter, who was coordinating everything, was palpable. They needed a solution, and they needed it yesterday, before the fines became insurmountable.

The Solution: A Transparent Cash Offer, No Repairs, Rapid Closing

Unlike a traditional real estate agent, we didn't ask Ms. Vance's family to clean up the yard, fix the broken window, tear down the unpermitted shed, or deal with a single code enforcement officer. Our approach was simple, direct, and designed specifically for situations like this in Boynton Beach.

• Immediate Assessment: We conducted a thorough evaluation of the property's condition and the specific code violations cited by the City of Boynton Beach within 24 hours of their call.
• Transparent Cost Calculation: We accurately estimated the costs involved in rectifying all code violations, performing necessary repairs, and fully rehabilitating the 1968 home. This included permit fees, demolition of the shed, landscaping, painting, and interior updates common for homes of that era in Boynton Beach.
• Fair Cash Offer: We presented a fair, no-obligation cash offer that accounted for the repair costs and Ms. Vance's urgent need to sell. Our offer directly addressed the accumulating fines, allowing them to stop the bleed immediately.
• Expedited Closing: Understanding the pressure of daily fines, we committed to closing on their timeline, which meant a rapid 18-day close. This allowed Ms. Vance's family to finally put the code violation nightmare behind them.

Our goal was to provide a straightforward solution, free from the complexities and delays of traditional sales. We handled all the paperwork, communicated directly with the family, and ensured they understood every step of the process. For Ms. Vance's family, it meant peace of mind and the ability to focus on what truly mattered.
