What documents do I need before selling a townhouse?

At minimum: certificate of occupancy, survey, DOB/HPD violation search, open permit records, tax lot information, property tax bills, insurance documentation, rent roll if applicable, and any facade inspection or structural reports. Having these organized before listing prevents delays during buyer diligence and signals that the property has been professionally managed.
