Selling a House in Port Jervis

In Port Jervis, the Neversink joins the Delaware beside Laurel Grove Cemetery, where a marker sits at the point New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania share. In April 2005, heavy rain sent both rivers over their banks, and the U.S. Geological Survey reported hundreds of damaged homes and more than 1,000 residents evacuated across Orange and Sullivan Counties.

Parts of the city near the rivers are mapped by FEMA as special flood hazard areas, and the city's Flood Damage Prevention law (Chapter 288) governs building there. Any development in those zones needs a floodplain development permit from the Building Official. If repair or renovation costs, or flood damage, reach 50% of the house's market value, the lowest floor, basement included, must be raised at least two feet above the base flood elevation. Buyers who finance through a federally regulated lender in a high-risk zone must also carry flood insurance.

A cash sale is one way forward when those costs pile up. We take the property as it is, so permits, elevation work and insurance become our concern once the deed changes hands, and you choose the closing date. Should the house be tied up in an estate, carry a lien or have code violations, get an attorney's advice on how that affects the sale.
