Selling a house in Passaic: what's specific to the city
Passaic packs a lot of housing into a small footprint, most of it old, most of it rented, all of it regulated.
Two- and three-families everywhere. Frame and brick multifamilies from the 1900s through the 1930s fill the city. Owner downstairs and tenants above is the classic setup, and when the owner passes or moves, the family inherits a landlord's job. We buy the building occupied and take over the leases.
Rent control and registration. Passaic has a rent control ordinance and requires landlords to register units. A retail buyer's attorney wants clean rent histories and registration. We buy buildings where the paperwork isn't tidy and sort it out ourselves.
Certificate before sale. The city inspects before a sale closes, checking smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguishers, egress and occupancy. Basement and attic apartments that were never permitted are common. We buy as-is and deal with the city after we own it.
The Passaic River and Dundee. The low streets near the river and Dundee Dam have flood history. We buy along the river without asking you to remediate first.
Local notes from houses we’ve bought and walked; confirm anything specific to your property with the township and your attorney. More on selling in Passaic County.
