Rehabbing a home that had become uninhabitable.

Major work on home made it inhabitable again
The house was the subject of a bank foreclosure. As is often the case, the former owners were not only unable to pay the mortgage. but also did not have the money to do routine or even necessary maintenance on the house.

The house sat vacant for three years while the legal process lead its way to the buyer acquiring the home. During that time, utilities were off and it appears the house did not have adequate heat and pipes froze during the winter and burst.

The buyer had purchased the house and was able to do some decoration, but required contractors, such as Heights Enterprises, to perform most of the infrastructure and structural repairs.

Renovation performed to get CoO

The Certificate of Occupancy (CoO) is the document required by municipalities for people to be allowed to reside in homes that have become uninhabitable. It becomes the document necessary for sellers to sell and lenders to make mortgages, so without a CoO the owner has a big expense and little else.
