Stuck With a Hard-to-Sell House in Columbia Heights?
A televised sewer line and a new Time-of-Sale report
Your 1920s to 1950s house or duplex now needs a city inspection and a sewer video before it can sell, and the lateral may be cracked.
Columbia Heights started its Time-of-Sale program on May 22, 2024, and sellers must have the sewer line televised, which older clay lines often fail.
With the building official's consent and a cash escrow, the buyer can take on the immediate hazards. We can take that route on a cash purchase.
