Do I have to fix a sidewalk violation before I can sell my Alpharetta house?

A sidewalk violation does not automatically block a sale, but it can cloud the picture for a buyer's lender or title company if the city has placed a lien against the Alpharetta property over it. Joel Boss checks for open code violations early so a seller knows whether to resolve it before listing or disclose and negotiate it into the contract. Either path works, but surprises at closing rarely do.
