Selling a House in Astoria

Astoria stretches along the East River in northwestern Queens, from Astoria Park, which runs between the Robert F. Kennedy (Triborough) and Hell Gate bridges, south toward 36th Avenue. City Planning describes blocks of two- and three-story attached rowhouses and semi-detached buildings north of the Grand Central Parkway, with larger prewar apartment buildings more common to the south. The N and W trains run above 31st Street to their last stop at Ditmars Boulevard, and the granite Steinway House on 41st Street has been a city landmark since 1967.

Much of this housing is old, and over the decades some houses have been altered, split into more units or combined. The NYC Department of Buildings says a certificate of occupancy states a building’s legal use and type of occupancy, and an existing building needs a current or amended one when its use, egress or occupancy changes. Buildings put up before 1938 aren’t required to have one unless later alterations made those kinds of changes.

When the paperwork and the layout don’t line up, a financed sale can stall during the buyer’s legal and lender review. We buy Astoria houses as-is, including ones with open violations or a certificate-of-occupancy question, and a written offer follows within 24 hours. Selling is one option; an attorney can tell you what resolving the issue yourself would involve.
