Am I going to have to pay thru the nose? Any chance I'll have to tear it down?
I recieved a "stop work" notice on our front door and just a while ago someone from the city was there taking pictures...I talked to him on the phone and it appears I am 8 sq ft too big to be building the structure without a permit, but the electrical needs a permit no matter what size the workshop/shed is. Anyone else have this happen? The guy taking the pictures did comment that it looks nice and well built, so let's hope the other inspector and the city does not bust my @ss too bad.......... |

QUOTE(jimtab @ May 27 2004, 08:58 PM) Also, when you go to sell your house, it will be easier in case the buyers inspection may turn up non permitted construction As a real estate appraiser my wife runs into this all the time. People applying for refinance tell her about all the upgrades they did to make the house worth more. Then, when she checks it out at the town hall there is no record of the improvement. Sometimes they even lie to her and say they did get a permit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) If she gets an attitude from the homeowner she might mention it to the building official... just to be sure the town didn't misplace the paperwork of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) There are some very good reasons for having the correct paperwork in place. For instance, if you have a house fire due to a woodstove that was installed without a permit your insurance co. won't cover the damage. |
