Selling a house in Union City: what's specific to the city

Union City is a landlord's city with the strictest rules in the county.

Multifamily everywhere. Brick and frame three- to six-families from the 1890s through 1930s on every block. Tenants, rent control, registration.

Rent control is strict. Union City's ordinance affects what we can charge later, so it affects the offer. It doesn't stop the sale and we handle the registration.

Certificate inspections. Smoke and CO, fire extinguishers, egress, illegal conversions. We buy as-is and handle the city afterward.

Liens. Unpaid taxes and water go to lien sale. Redeemed at closing.

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 Hudson County.
