Separate everyday maintenance from an open property case
For a vacant Memphis house, make two lists: the physical work you know about and any city notices or case references. The city’s Code Enforcement page explains its property-maintenance role and provides department contacts. Keep correspondence and dates available so the purchase team can distinguish a repair concern from an unresolved city process. If you live elsewhere, also identify who can check the house and authorize access. A proposed sale does not by itself close a property case or settle its requirements.
